History of the company
TP ICAP Group plc has a long history, dating back to the early 20th century. The company was originally founded as Ellis & Partners in 1912, a stockbroking firm in London.
In 1971, the company was acquired by Paul Tullett and started its expansion in the interdealer broking market. In 1972, the company was renamed Tullett & Riley, and in 1983, it became known as Tullett Prebon.
On the other hand, ICAP was founded in 1986 as Intercapital and grew through a number of mergers and acquisitions. In 2001, the company was rebranded as ICAP.
In 2016, Tullett Prebon acquired ICAP’s global hybrid voice broking and information business, forming TP ICAP Group plc, which is now one of the world’s largest interdealer brokers.
