ereorg.com Inc. formed a partnership with
financial services firm Emergent Enterprises to offer global online trading
for emerging markets debt.
The companies said they will “target the $730 billion market for emerging
markets loans and less liquid bonds.”
The ereorg system is an online marketplace that enables users to buy and sell
debt in the secondary market within an anonymous and secure environment,
reducing transaction costs and settlement times.
“Emergent Enterprises offers ereorg the market intelligence and experience
required to tailor ereorg’s U.S. and UK bank loan platforms to the emerging
markets,” said Ronald DeKoven, chairman and chief executive officer of
ereorg. “ereorg’s online trading
system will promote liquidity by providing increased access to product for
buyers, broader reach for sellers, and a more secure trading process”
Susan Payne, founder and managing director of Emergent and former head of
sales and trading for Goldman Sachs’ European emerging markets debt
operations, will be among the founding members of the board of directors of
ereorg U.K. Financial details of the partnership were not disclosed.
A B2B e-commerce company, ereorg is a registered broker-dealer and member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc. (NASD). In February, the
company formed a joint venture with Mitsubishi to introduce ereorg’s
institutional online
debt auction system to the Japanese market.
