Artisan Mid Cap Fund Composite made the following comment about Tradeweb Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:TW) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:
“Underperformance within financials was partially driven by two electronic fixed income exchanges, Tradeweb Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:TW) and MarketAxess. Both companies underperformed as bond market activity slowed in the wake of March’s bank failures. As leading US electronic credit trading networks, we believe these companies are well-positioned to capture greater market share of trading volumes as global credit markets increasingly shift toward electronic trading venues. We expect market conditions to normalize in future periods and remain attracted by the opportunity for both franchises. In addition, financial information services provider MSCI underperformed as growth slowed in its climate and ESG segment. We reduced our position but still consider it to be well positioned longer term.”
