Volume Match is integrated into BGC's proprietary platform, BGC Trader and, at pre-set times during the day, offers customers auction-style electronic trading across a wide range of asset classes including credit default swaps, foreign exchange options, precious metals and interest rate swaps.

Len Harvey, Executive Managing Director and General Manager, Asia Pacific, commented: "We are very pleased to continue the roll-out of Volume Match in the Asia Pacific region, following the launch of fully electronic Australian Dollar IRS in February and Singapore Dollar IRS in October last year. The addition of Thai Baht IRS reflects the growing demand for electronic trading across new products in the region and we intend to add further products as client demand continues."
Max Rozario, Head of Thai Baht at BGC in Singapore added: "We are encouraged by the increasing interest show by our Thai Baht IRS customers and their initial feedback has confirmed our belief in Volume Match's potential as an effective execution tool in this market."

About BGC™ Volume Match
Volume Match is an application within the BGC Trader platform. Volume Match is an anonymous auction-style trading system, which provides customers with efficient price discovery, order management and execution in credit and FX derivative products. It is run multiple times per day for multiple products depending on market demand:
- At specific times and set price levels the market can execute trades anonymously
- Volume Match runs for approximately 5 minutes, several times per day
- At the conclusion of the Volume Match, only those participating will be aware of their transactions
- All unfilled interest remains undisclosed to the marketplace – which aims to remove execution risk
In some markets Volume Match offers an additional price discovery tool allowing traders themselves to post two-way prices. With this additional step, the mid-price is established by the market rather than being inputted by the broker. This offers significantly increased price transparency and efficiency of execution in certain markets.
Volume Match is deployed using Citrix, and is hosted by BGC.
