ICAP Full-time opportunities in Broking, Finance, IT

ICAP provides a specialist intermediary broking services to commercial banks and investment banks in the wholesale financial markets. An interdealer broker works in these markets to draw together liquidity and to match buyers and sellers so that deals can be executed by its banking customers. Banks pay a commission when they use a broker to complete a deal. ICAP offers banks significant economies of scale in price discovery by having a number of staff covering each product and in constant contact with a range of counterparties. Access to a broker therefore allows a bank to increase market coverage in busy times without incurring additional overheads. Candidates will have opportunities across all product areas including derivatives, fixed income securities, money market products, foreign exchange, energy, credit and equity derivatives.
