Bloomberg Partners on Platform for Korea Treasury Bonds

Bloomberg has partnered with investment bank Standard Chartered to introduce electronic trading workflow for accessing Korea treasury bond liquidity on the Terminal. The partnership aims to give investors the ability to stage, monitor, trade, process and allocate trades in Korean treasury bonds via an electronic workflow through Bloomberg’s electronic trading offering. The first electronic trade has already been completed on Bloomberg between the bank and a global investor on the buy-side. Standard Chartered added it is one of the largest primary dealers in Korea treasury bonds and it is the first dealer to launch a fully electronic offering for trading the instruments. The workflow also allows for Korea’s investor registration certificates to be conveyed at each stage of the trade’s life cycle and will give investors access to both global and domestic sources of liquidity through the Bloomberg Terminal.
