Technology-driven agency execution specialist Liquidnet and next-generation investment technology provider bondIT today announced their partnership to integrate bondIT’s Scorable Credit Analytics into Liquidnet’s online fixed income trading platform.
The partnership aims to enable traders to predict market trends, mitigate credit risk and make informed investment decisions faster.
Leveraging data science, Explainable AI (XA) and Machine Learning expertise, bondIT’s Scorable enables fixed income investors to predict changes in credit ratings and spreads and identify investment opportunities ahead of the market. With this integration, the 700+ corporate Fixed Income Members who currently have access to Liquidnet’s primary and secondary market trading protocols for corporate bonds will gain access to valuable insights and a more informed view of the credit markets directly through their Liquidnet application.
Nicholas Stephan, Global Head of Fixed Income and Partnership Product Programs at Liquidnet, said:
“We are excited to be able to enrich the Liquidnet platform with a service of Scorable’s caliber. With this integration, our goal is to provide access to critical information to investment firms of all sizes. Our members will have seamless access to a wide range of credit data giving them an extra edge before making their trading decisions.”
Amid the most attractive yields in more than a decade, investor demand for fixed income has grown significantly in recent months. However, growing concerns about credit risk in a challenging economic and geopolitical climate underscores the need for careful investor choices.
Dr David Curtis, Head of Global Client Business at bondIT, added:
“Bonds are back, but so is risk. Technology is becoming an increasingly important ally in this dynamic economic landscape. The synergy between bondIT’s AI-powered Scorable Credit Analytics and Liquidnet’s platform empowers marketers to gain reliable insights, enabling them to stay ahead in today’s volatile markets.”
This latest partnership represents one of many new additions planned and underscores Liquidnet’s commitment to advancing the Liquidnet Credit offering beyond an execution system.
