ICE Expands Fixed Income Liquidity Offering With Relaunch of Enhanced Sweeps Protocol for Corporate Bonds
Conducts multiple auctions per week
With ICE RMA, after traders upload their inventory of bonds, an ICE proprietary algorithm matches buyers and sellers of the same bond or list of bonds. The protocol leverages ICE’s Continuous Evaluated Pricing (CEP™) to propose a pricing level for the bonds, which traders can either affirm or reject on a line-item basis or in bulk. This process gives customers an efficient way to reduce risk exposure as they access a broadening pool of fixed income liquidity.

With our relaunch, we’ve delivered a highly intuitive and easy to use platform that incorporates direct user feedback. The initial adoption and activity validates this belief and we are excited about the potential as we continue to develop innovative solutions for the market.”
ICE Bonds offers growing pools of liquidity and multiple trading protocols including click-to-trade, request-for-quote, sweeps and portfolio auctions for
“Our broad offering across fixed income provides a range of services that our customers can use to gain more transparency into volatile markets,” said Amanda Hindlian, President of Fixed Income and Data Services at ICE. “The RMA relaunch builds on our strengths in both execution and data to deliver a robust sweeps solution that helps manage risk exposure across fixed income portfolios.”
