FX Markets
Matchmaking and benchmarking for FX forwards and options
OTC derivatives markets are opaque by design. You only know the firms you trade with. What about the rest?
Counterparty Radar scours the filings of thousands of US mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, as well as the disclosures of US life insurers, to reveal the most popular dealers and most active buy-side firms in FX forwards and FX options. Users can create their own peer comparisons, inform counterparty selection, and get a headstart in client prospecting and optimisation.
