At Spectra Rates we aim to provide our clients with complete, anonymous, market wide access to cleared rates pricing through our comprehensive bank liquidity network, with trades clearing through a prime broker counterparty.
We have secured strong, deep relationships with the banking community, continually sourcing their respective product strengths as well as being mindful of their positioning bias on a real time basis for efficient and minimal impact price discovery.
