Our take

Financial investment institutions typically have access to the trading of stocks, options, and foreign exchanges, but global bond trading is often inaccessible. This is primarily due to being limited to domestic bond trading, in addition to having insufficient liquidity and data-driven trading tools.

MarketAxess provides a global bond trading platform to institutional investors, providing unparalleled global depth through over 1,800 client firms. This allows the company to increase access to the global bond trading market by increasing liquidity, whilst improving analytic-driven revenue and efficiency through a data-driven approach to fixed income trading.

Whilst other companies are attempting to fill the gap in the market of bond trading platforms, MarketAxess stands out by providing a wide range of niche fixed income trading instruments at various flexible price plans across over 1,800 client firms. Through this approach, the company claims it can help to push diversity in bond trading, increase access through improved liquidity, and help clients understand the global bond market to amplify their investment opportunities.
