new-york-at-night
MarketAxess, headquartered in New York, will acquire Xtrakter in Q1 2013.

The deal, worth £26 million (approximately $42 million) plus transaction costs, will go through in Q1 2013, but is subject to regulatory approval by the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA).

"Xtrakter is a strong fit with our business and provides MarketAxess with an expanded set of services that are highly complementary to our core strengths in electronic trading, market data and straight-through processing solutions for the global credit markets," says Rick McVey, CEO of MarketAxess.

"Xtrakter is a leading provider of regulatory trade reporting to the FSA and other similar continental European authorities and is well positioned to play a key role in the UK and other European markets as regulators look to reduce trade settlement risk and increase market transparency under the proposed MiFID II mandate," he adds.
