Bonds.com has added a request for quote (RFQ) protocol to its corporate bond order book, using MultiLynq’s multi-dealer messaging and connectivity capabilities.
Operated by interdealer broker Tradition, Bonds.com’s trading network facilitates corporate bond trading between institutions, supporting trading and pre-trade data delivery through API connections with clients and O/EMS providers.
Its new service directs requests directly to liquidity providers who are active in a particular bond. Integrating RFQ into the platform will improve efficiency and reduce information leakage for users, the company said, while cutting costs for trading firms.
David Parker, Bonds.com CEO, commented, “RFQ remains the dominant protocol in electronic bond trading. By integrating this capability directly within our order book and limiting it to involved parties, we are giving clients a smarter and more efficient way to trade.”
