Growth capital from financing will support continued growth and expansion
NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Financial technology company and electronic credit trading platform Trumid has announced the completion of a new $208 million financing led by Point Break Capital Management, a private investment firm with significant experience and relationships in global financial markets and deep roots in Latin America. Motive Partners, a specialist private equity firm focused on financial technology investments, participated as a significant investor in the round. They were joined by Senator Investment Group, Phase2 Partners and existing investors including Dragoneer Investment Group, TPG, DST Global, Singapore Exchange (SGX), and funds and accounts managed by BlackRock and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.
Global credit trading is becoming increasingly electronic, with Trumid playing an important role in that evolution. The company differentiates itself through a combination of market expertise, agile technology and a focus on product design. Growth capital from this financing will enable Trumid to further enhance its leading-edge technology and to expand its footprint to include additional trading protocols, asset classes and geographies.
Trumid's innovative trading platform has experienced significant market share and client activity growth, with its ecosystem of solutions proving valuable across a variety of market conditions. Daily trading volumes on the Trumid platform have grown rapidly, now almost seven times higher than two years ago. In 2021 alone, YTD average daily volume has increased 71% YoY. In addition to Trumid's US corporate bond franchise, the company has recently added Emerging Market debt to its platform. Trumid's partnership with Point Break Capital Management corresponds well with the company's expansionary initiatives in EM.
"Strong partnership with our community of clients and investors is how Trumid drives sustainable innovation and value," said Mike Sobel, President of Trumid. "We're thrilled to bring in investors whose expertise matches our strategic priorities. Credit market structure is evolving quickly and we're excited to run hard at the big growth opportunities in front of us."
