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.

Company values
- We collaborate - When we collaborate with partners, co-workers and clients from different backgrounds, experiences, and cultures, magic happens. That’s diversity at work. That’s collective intelligence at work. That’s how we build trust. And that’s how we win
- We are tenacious - Improving how the world’s markets work is incredibly rewarding. But it takes relentless perseverance. That’s why we keep striving for the right answers, not just the obvious ones. That spirit shows up in the bold pursuit of taking on our clients’ toughest challenges. We roll up our sleeves and get it done
- We imagine - Reinventing the way markets work to create more opportunity for all is our collective goal. We think beyond today’s reality and strive to be better at what we do. We look at things from different angles and constantly challenge the status quo. That’s how we give creativity oxygen
- We are agile - Progress doesn’t happen in a straight line. It has ups and downs, zigs and zags. So we stay nimble and focused, ready to invent and reinvent solutions for our clients. We learn from our successes and our setbacks, as we keep moving on to the next challenge
- We are transparent - Markets need transparency to thrive. And so does innovation. But it doesn’t just happen. We make it happen. By being open and authentic. And by holding ourselves accountable. Perfection isn’t always possible, but integrity is
