Receiving the Best Trading and Execution Solution award for the fifth consecutive year highlights MarketAxess’s commitment to excellence in serving the private banking community globally.
MarketAxess and Axess IQ continue to help clients navigate complex markets by combining deep liquidity, actionable data, and unrivalled workflow efficiency.
We’re proud to introduce Axess IQ Lite, a web app designed for client advisors and relationship managers who need accurate bond pricing, liquidity information, market insights, and real-time orderbook access, both in-office and when meeting clients.
Our focus remains on empowering clients to effectively navigate markets. This recognition underscores our dedication to innovation and client success. We thank our clients and partners whose trust inspires us to set new benchmarks in fixed income trading.
What was behind the judges’ decision?
- Axess IQ Lite empowers relationship managers with real-time access to bond pricing, liquidity, and order status from anywhere, bridging the gap between client- facing roles and execution desks. This mobile-first, fully integrated solution streamlines workflows, enhances client service, and ensures seamless communication between RMs and trading desks.
- The introduction of the US High Grade Price protocol and seamless integration with UBS Bond Port have transformed execution quality and liquidity access for private banks. These enhancements enable faster, more flexible trading, particularly for smaller trade sizes, and provide direct access to global liquidity pools, all within a unified workflow.
- MarketAxess’s advanced automation features, including zero-touch auto-execution and order aggregation, have driven a 48% automation rate among Asian private bank clients in 2024. This industry- leading adoption of automation has reduced manual intervention, increased operational efficiency, and allowed execution desks to focus on complex, high-value transactions.
