History

Tullett Prebon (Europe) Limited is a subsidiary within the TP ICAP group, which traces its origins to the merger of Tullett Prebon plc and ICAP's global broking business in 2016. Tullett Prebon plc itself was formed in 2004 through the demerger of the inter-dealer broking business of Collins Stewart Tullett. The Tullett name dates back to 1971 when Derek Tullett founded Tullett & Riley, and Prebon was established in 1981 by a group of brokers. The two firms merged in 1999 to form Tullett Prebon. In 2016, Tullett Prebon plc acquired ICAP's global broking business, creating TP ICAP, the world's largest inter-dealer broker. The combined group operates a portfolio of brands including Tullett Prebon, ICAP, PVM, and others. Tullett Prebon (Europe) Limited was established as an MTF to provide electronic broking services for derivatives, leveraging the group's infrastructure and regulatory permissions. The entity operates under the regulatory framework of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and complies with MiFID II requirements for MTFs. It serves institutional clients in the wholesale markets, facilitating trading in FX, energy, commodities, and interest rate derivatives. The MTF model allows for anonymous, multilateral trading, enhancing liquidity and price transparency. As part of TP ICAP, the firm benefits from the group's investments in technology, data analytics, and post-trade services. TP ICAP is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 index. The group's strategy focuses on diversifying revenue streams, expanding electronic trading, and providing value-added data and analytics to clients.
