Acquisitions and revenue increases have electronic trading marketplace operator Tradeweb Markets, Inc. (TW) growing its business.
Tradeweb handles markets for rates, credit, money markets, and equities, along with providing related pre-trade pricing and post-trade processing services. After its start primarily in bond trading, TW now serves investors of all kinds and has built on its offerings and overall strength through some key recent acquisitions, equity expansion, and new products.
