Headline: The new Italian connection

Date: November 2001

Deal: Merger of technology platforms
Structure: MTS buys 15% stake in Coredeal
Result: New corporate bond structure – CoredealMTS



Most EuroMTS announcements are not what you would call exciting. ‘Record trading volumes on MTS Portugal’ and the like don’t exactly get the heart racing. But a recent joint initiative from EuroMTS and the International Securities Market Association (Isma) is rather different.

Isma has taken Coredeal, its inter-dealer credit trading platform, which lists about 5,000 corporate bonds but lacks liquidity and decent technology, and combined it with EuroMTS, which has a robust technology platform and good liquidity but no corporate bonds.
