S&P affirms BGC Partners

Standard & Poor's said it affirmed the BBB- corporate counterparty credit rating on BGC Partners Inc.

The outlook is stable.

The ratings are based on an assessment of the company's stand-alone credit profile, as well as its relationship with its parent, Cantor Fitzgerald LP, the agency said.

Although BGC is not operationally integrated into Cantor and Cantor doesn't own 100% of BCG, the agency said it views BGC as important to the company's efforts to grow into a strong mid-tier brokerage firm.
