Peer-to-Peer Repo

Our peer-to-peer (P2P) repo solution empowers buy-side firms to access diverse sources of liquidity and efficiently interact with other market participants — on their own terms and at reduced costs.

We bring new liquidity opportunities to repo markets by directly connecting participants (or “peers”) on a stable, standardized platform. This allows participants to trade bilaterally, while we guarantee the payment of the repurchase price to the investor. By eliminating balance sheet costs – which are typically passed along by dealer intermediaries – we drive competitive rates.

In eligible jurisdictions, our VenturiSM by State Street platform provides further efficiency via an electronic front-end interface that enables real-time negotiation, execution, notification, and automated integration with settlement and margin processes.
