Repo

Repurchase Agreements, (Repo), used by dealer firms to finance positions, comprise one of the largest sectors among all the money market instruments. While a dealer firm uses the repo market as the primary means for financing its inventory and covering short positions, it will also use the repo market to run a matched book. Given their role within the financing complex, repo instruments continue to extend their usefulness from the treasury, agency and mortgage markets to the corporate and emerging market sectors.

Given the significant global presence in these short-term financing instruments, ICAP's subsidiaries facilitate an extensive amount of repo transactions on a daily basis.
