CMC Connect launches global Prime Services

CMC Connect, the institutional division of CMC Markets, has launched a global Prime Services platform that combines flexible financing with multi-asset execution and post-trade support. The platform supports direct market access (DMA) and FIX connectivity for institutional clients.

The service provides access to global cash equities, exchange-traded funds and synthetic single-stock exposure. Orders can be routed through smart order routing across exchanges, multilateral trading facilities and other liquidity venues. Trading is available via FIX connection or directly on the CMC Connect trading platform.

The offering packages financing, execution and post-trade capabilities. Post-trade support includes settlement and margin arrangements intended to align with institutional workflows. Financing options are available alongside execution to help clients manage funding for multi-asset exposure.

CMC Connect said the platform targets hedge funds, asset managers and other institutional users that require multi-asset exposure and flexible funding arrangements. Onboarding is available in the UK and the Middle East using CMC Markets’ existing infrastructure.

“strengthens CMC’s ability to deliver integrated execution and financing solutions as demand grows for more flexible and technology-driven prime brokerage services,” the firm stated in a press release.

CMC Markets is a global multi-asset broker and CMC Connect is its institutional arm. The Prime Services rollout forms part of the firm’s expansion into institutional and B2B markets, using electronic connectivity and platform-based tools to serve professional clients across multiple jurisdictions.
