The agency securities market includes issuance by the widely recognized Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Federal Home Loan Bank, Farm Credit Bank, Sallie Mae, Tennessee Valley Authority and The World Bank. According to Q1 2005 Bond Market Association statistics, the US Agency market's outstanding level of public & private debt equated USD2.7 trillion with trading amongst the primary dealers averaging USD81billion, daily.

ICAP's strength in brokering the agency market results from a significant liquidity combination of both our voice and electronic marketplaces. ICAP's clients can trade the range of agency securities by electing to facilitate their transactions with the assistance of our voice brokers or can choose to use electronic means via the BrokerTec platform.  Through either channel, our customers benefit from efficiencies we have created through our voice or electronic straight-through processing capabilities.
