Tradeweb announced an expansion of its trading link with China Foreign Exchange Trade System (CFETS) under the Bond Connect channel. It will launch on September 24 to allow mainland China onshore institutions to invest in Hong Kong’s fixed income markets.
Tradeweb was the first platform to enable offshore investors to buy and sell Chinese onshore bonds via its fully electronic request-for-quote (RFQ) trading link to Northbound Bond Connect.
Through the new Southbound Bond Connect solution between CFETS and Tradeweb, onshore institutional investors can conduct price discovery, trade negotiation and trade execution with Tradeweb’s network of regional and international liquidity providers in the offshore bond markets, via fully-electronic RFQ.
