Bonds.com Expands Into Latin America Through Red Kite Agreement

NEW YORK, Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bonds.com Group, Inc. (OTC.BB: BDCG) today announced that it has entered an agreement with Red Kite Americas LLC ("Red Kite") for Red Kite to market the Bonds.com trading system, BondsPro, into qualified Latin American institutional investors, on an exclusive basis. Red Kite will distribute BondsPro primarily in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico through its affiliation with Brazilian based Archers Capital Participatoes e Investimentos S.A.

With this agreement, we expect Latin American institutions will join the global BondsPro trading network. BondsPro clients will have access to Latin American fixed income liquidity and trading in the burgeoning Latin America market. Latin American buy side institutions and banks would conversely have access to and trade with Bonds.com's global client base.

The BondsPro model significantly reduces the cost of supply meeting demand in the fixed income markets. This is achieved by matching buyers and sellers in an "all-to-all" fair and equal electronic trading environment. The net result for clients is that Bonds.com creates the opportunity to achieve best execution. Trading is available in U.S. dollar denominated Global Corporate Credit: Investment Grade, High Yield, and Emerging Markets; and Mortgage and Asset Backed securities.

Red Kite and its management have an extensive network of client relationships in Latin America. Red Kite Americas delivers third party solutions for trading and liquidity management to a range of clients.  It builds and integrates customized solutions for banks, brokers, hedge funds, and money managers  looking to improve connectivity, liquidity management and efficiency in day-to-day interactions with Latin and global markets.

George O'Krepkie, President of Bonds.com, said: "Efficient delivery of cross border liquidity and execution is now an imperative rather than a luxury for professional fixed income traders worldwide. With our expansion into Latin America through Red Kite we have now provided our clients with access to these growing markets and we have added another piece of the puzzle to building a truly global network. We are confident that the Red Kite relationship will not only benefit our clients and our new Latin American relationships, but will aid in global capital flow."

Dennis Rodrigues, Managing Member of Red Kite, said: "The BondsPro trading platform is the most advanced system for bond trading. Latin American institutions are keen to have efficient access to global trading.  The ability to provide these markets with access to all other clients in the network simultaneously means that Latin American liquidity will both enhance and benefit from participation."
