The alliance unites IHS Markit's multi asset TCA tool, independent bond pricing

and liquidity data with Yieldbroker's six trillion of annual AUD and NZD market

transaction volume. Together, these services offer customers sophisticated

trade execution analytics and a broad spectrum of data to deliver more

transparency in fixed income markets.

"This collaboration is a natural extension of our global, multi asset TCA

offering to on and off-shore AUD and NZD fixed income market players," said

Chris Pashley, managing director at IHS Markit. "We are committed to

continuously enhancing our comprehensive suite of best execution solutions to

help customers optimize their trading activity, gain new perspective on fixed

income markets and reduce the cost and operational demands of compliance and

regulatory reporting."

"Working with IHS Markit creates a compelling solution for institutions active

in AUD and NZD fixed income markets," said Anthony Robson, CEO of Yieldbroker.

"This partnership supports Yieldbroker's strategic intent to deliver our

clients end-to-end trading workflow solutions. With IHS Markit as a partner, we

can further improve secondary market transparency, analytics, and insights for

the AUD and NZD fixed income markets."

Evolving market practices and regulations such as Australia's RG 97, Europe's

MiFID II and PRIIPS have led financial institutions to become more programmatic

in their oversight of trade execution quality.

Through the collaboration, common customers can receive:  

    --  Point-in-time execution price slippage benchmarking

    --  Security level bid-offer spread data

    --  Security level Liquidity Scoring

    --  RG 97 reporting data

    --  Broker-dealer performance analytics

    --  Request-for-quote (RFQ) analytics

Since 2011, IHS Markit has provided sophisticated tools for best execution and

TCA, covering multiple asset classes, including equities, bonds, FX, bank

loans, money markets, CDS and other OTC derivatives.
