BNY Mellon Plans Online Market to Trade European Asset-Backed Securities - Bloomberg: "BNY started a similar service for U.S. mortgage-backed securities in June. The U.S. securitized credit market is recovering more quickly than Europe’s, benefiting from the Federal Reserve’s Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF, which provided low-cost financing to investors buying the bonds.

Traders of the securities may not favor increased transparency, which can hurt their profit by reducing the difference between bid and offer prices, according to Attilio Di Mattia, a money manager at Aurelius Capital Management in Vienna, who helps oversee 4.5 billion euros of assets including European and U.S. securitized debt.

“Investment banks make money from the margins that come with the price volatility and they won’t easily give that up,” Di Mattia said.

BNY Mellon has $21.8 trillion in assets under custody and administration and assets under management of $1 trillion, according to its website."
