SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ICD, the leading institutional trading and investment risk management company, announced a strategic alliance with Tradeweb Markets, a world leader in electronic fixed income and derivatives trading. The new alliance will enable corporate treasury clients to access the Tradeweb system through the ICD Portal to trade time deposits, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposits, U.S. agency discount notes, U.S. treasuries and U.S. agency securities.

Corporate institutions have entered a new era of investment and credit risk management. Treasury practitioners have to navigate Basel III and MMF regulations in a protracted near-zero interest rate environment. As a result, the supply and demand dynamics of traditional investments are driving institutional treasury departments to build more sophisticated portfolios.

The ICD/Tradeweb alliance enables corporate treasury departments to invest and trade a comprehensive selection of twelve institutional investment vehicles. Mutual clients of ICD and Tradeweb will be able to ingest trade information from Tradeweb and combine it with other ICD Portal investments to provide consolidated reporting and on-demand exposure analytics.

"We are excited to provide our clients with access to Tradeweb's deep pools of liquidity," said Tory Hazard, ICD President & COO. "This enables our treasury investors to optimize their portfolio while running exposure analytics across all of their investments."

Lee Olesky, CEO of Tradeweb said, "Our pre-trade data and trade execution are truly complementary for corporate treasury. Integrating our deep pools of liquidity with ICD's offering represents a significant evolution in electronic trading and operational efficiency for corporate treasury."

Roger Biscay, Vice President, Treasurer & Global Risk Management, Cisco Systems said, "This is a great partnership. Both ICD Portal and Tradeweb's electronic trading platforms, along with their integrated reporting and analytics, help Cisco to be more efficient and effective with our trading and investment risk management."

"We are thrilled to partner with a clear leader in the electronic trading space," said ICD CEO EMEA Edwin P. Baldry. "Tradeweb's massive product selection is an outstanding fit for our global clientele and their post Basel III requirements."
