ICAP

ICAP is a world-leading intermediary in the wholesale financial, energy, and commodities markets, operating as part of the TP ICAP Group. It facilitates and executes trades on behalf of leading financial institutions, combining broker expertise with technology to provide price discovery, liquidity, and privacy. ICAP operates in 22 countries from 33 locations and covers major asset classes including rates, equities, FX, money markets, fixed income, local markets, credit, and energy and commodities. It also operates electronic trading platforms and trading venues.

ICAP was formed in September 1999 by the merger of Garban plc and Intercapital plc. The merger brought together Garban's government and corporate bonds, interest rate products, and money market instruments, with Intercapital's interest rate swaps and options, commodity swaps, illiquid securities, and foreign exchange options. Garban-Intercapital plc was renamed ICAP plc in July 2001. Intercapital was set up in May 1986, initially to concentrate on the new interest rate swaps market. As a specialist financial derivatives broking firm, Intercapital grew from the original four people to more than three hundred worldwide, with offices in London, New York, Sydney, Singapore, and all major financial centres. In 2006, ICAP bought EBS, a major trading platform for foreign exchange, and then acquired Traiana Inc – a provider of post-trade processing, client servicing, and trading software for financial institutions – in December 2007. In June 2012 ICAP acquired Plus Stock Exchange plc and relaunched it as the ICAP Securities and Derivatives Exchange (ISDX).
