August 2024 Highlights

RATES

• U.S. government bond ADV was up 59.9% YoY to $228.2 billion (bn). European government bond ADV was up 11.8% YoY to $36.8bn.
  • Record U.S. government bond volumes were supported by record ADV across our institutional and wholesale client sectors and strong ADV growth in retail. Increased adoption across a range of protocols and favorable market conditions contributed to the increase in volume. The addition of r8fin continues to contribute positively to wholesale volumes. Despite subdued summer issuance, European government bond volumes increased YoY, led by strong growth in UK Gilts ahead of the new issuance announced for early September.

• Mortgage ADV was up 32.3% YoY to $230.7bn.
  • August To-Be-Announced (TBA) activity was driven by robust roll trading activity and significant participation from fast-money accounts. Increased client adoption of specified pool trading led to record volumes for the month.

• Swaps/swaptions ≥ 1-year ADV was up 5.4% YoY to $402.3bn and total rates derivatives ADV was up 35.7% YoY to $727.4bn.

CREDIT

• Fully electronic U.S. credit ADV was up 33.2% YoY to $6.4bn and European credit ADV was down 8.4% YoY to $1.4bn.
  • U.S. credit volumes were driven by increased client adoption, most notably in request-for-quote (RFQ), portfolio trading and Tradeweb AllTrade®. Tradeweb captured 16.9% and 7.0% of fully electronic U.S high grade and U.S. high yield TRACE, respectively, as measured by Tradeweb. European credit volumes were driven by client activity across a wide range of protocols in August, including Tradeweb AllTrade® and our unique dealer selection tool (SNAP IOI), which continued to see increased client engagement.
• Municipal bonds ADV was up4% YoY to $392 million (mm).
  • Volume growth outpaced the broader market, which was up approximately 5.6% YoY, as Tradeweb's volumes reported double-digit YoY growth amidst record August issuance.
• Credit derivatives ADV was up 135.6% YoY to $18.6bn.
  • Increased hedge fund and systematic account activity, along with heightened credit volatility, led to increased swap execution facility (SEF) and multilateral trading facility (MTF) credit default swaps activity.

EQUITIES  

• U.S. ETF ADV was up 6.8% YoY to $7.2bn and European ETF ADV was up 43.4% YoY to $2.7bn.
  • Both U.S. and European institutional ETF volumes were up over 40% YoY, driven by a large number of clients looking to reposition.

MONEY MARKETS  

• Repo ADV was up 30.8% YoY to $643.5bn.
  • Increased client activity on Tradeweb's electronic repo trading platform drove record global repo activity. The combination of quantitative tightening, increased collateral supply, and current rates market activity shifted more assets from the Fed's reverse repo facility to money markets. Retail money markets activity remained strong, as investors prepared for anticipated rate cuts.
• Other Money Markets ADV was up YoY to $282.3bn.
  • Other money markets volume growth was driven by the inclusion of ICD volumes in August 2024.
