MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (MKTX) operates a leading electronic trading platform that enables fixed-income market participants to efficiently trade corporate bonds and other types of fixed-income instruments using MarketAxess' patented trading technology. Founded in 2000, MarketAxess connects over 1,300 institutional investor and broker-dealer firms worldwide, providing access to global liquidity in U.S. high-grade corporate bonds, emerging markets, high-yield bonds, leveraged loans, European bonds, U.S. agency bonds, municipal bonds, credit default swaps, and other fixed-income securities.
The company's 'all-to-all' market for corporate bonds, known as Open Trading™, allows investment managers, broker-dealers at investment banks, and other market participants to trade directly with one another electronically on an anonymous basis. This innovation promotes greater transparency and efficiency in the bond trading process.
In addition to its core trading platform, MarketAxess offers a range of trading-related products and services. These include market data to assist clients with trading decisions and connectivity solutions that facilitate straight-through processing (STP). The company's strategic acquisitions have further expanded its capabilities. For example, the acquisition of LiquidityEdge in 2019 and MuniBrokers in 2021 have allowed MarketAxess to aggressively expand into Treasury and municipal bond markets.
Furthermore, MarketAxess has strengthened its pre- and post-trade services through the acquisition of Regulatory Reporting Hub from Deutsche Börse Group in 2020. This expansion enhances their product offerings and positions the company as a comprehensive service provider in the fixed-income trading space.
MarketAxess continues to innovate and grow, solidifying its position as a key player in the electronic fixed-income trading market. As the company evolves, it remains committed to providing efficient, transparent, and reliable trading solutions to its global client base.
