Bloomberg SEF, Goldman Execute First Electronic Market-Agreed Coupon Swap

Ben Macdonald
Ben Macdonald is leading Bloomberg's SEF strategy, including bunched trade and MAC options.

Bloomberg says the new environment has increased need for standardized and fungible swaps with pre-set terms, including start and end dates, coupons and maturities. The addition will help improve liquidity for those clients with line-item constraints, and will improve the ability of buy-side participants to engage in portfolio compression.

“We are pleased to work with Bloomberg and play a role in the ongoing evolution of the market structure for interest rate products. Goldman Sachs values its role as a market maker in MAC swaps, as well as other interest rate swaps that fit the specific needs of our customers," says Kostas Pantazopoulos, Goldman's global head of interest rate products.
