We remain focused on the safety of our people and ensuring that Tradeweb clients trade with confidence wherever they are in the world. In March we saw clients adapt to market volatility and remote working by adjusting how they traded; taking advantage of our multi-asset class and multi-protocol electronic offerings to find the best approach.
