Credit markets are changing. A transition from voice OTC to
electronic trading means that markets will be more
transparent, margins will be lower and automated trading
activities will increase.

Bonds and Credits is a MiFID-compliant efficient solution for
trading aggregated fixed income and credit liquidity across
multiple venues.
This flexible system can be tailored and deployed locally at
