GFS's client base includes firms trading in fixed income, credit, distressed, structured credit, macro, equity, commodities, CDO, CLO, private equity, private debt, real estate and hybrid structures.

Chris Kundro, head of GFS, says the merger will allow the firm "to dramatically accelerate our global growth plans and pace of innovation."

The transition is expected to close in Q4 2016.
