CMC Connect Expands Offerings with Launch of Cash Equities

​CMC Markets, the UK's leading online trading services provider, has expanded its suite of tradable instruments with the introduction of cash equities on CMC Connect, its liquidity solutions platform for institutional clients such as banks, brokerages, funds, and dealing desks. 

CMC Connect provides over 5,000 instruments, including single stocks and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The newly launched offering complements the existing range of Contracts for Difference (CFD) and Spot FX offerings on the platform.

Furthermore, CMC Markets has unveiled its plan to roll out UK cash equities in early 2024 as part of its expansion following the successful launch of US cash equities. This expansion will include more equities and diverse asset classes in the upcoming year.

"This launch marks another significant milestone for CMC Connect as we look to build out our multi-asset, multi-currency functionality for clients of all sizes," said Kim Ljung Andersen, Head of Institutional Product Solutions at CMC Connect. "The addition of cash instruments has been proving invaluable as we look to grow the number of institutions, we provide liquidity solutions for. Further equities and additional asset classes will be added to the platform in the New Year."

"As we look to grow our footprint further, the demand from counterparties for extending the product range is clear", added Richard Elston, Group Head of Institutional at CMC Connect. "The strength of our technology along with our operational abilities has allowed us to deliver yet another institutional grade solution, whilst our development timelines will result in further significant innovations being seen in the years ahead."

In addition, CMC Connect has enhanced its services in October by launching CFDs for over 70 additional UAE stocks​, supplementing the existing CFD instruments on the platform.
