BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Charles River Development, a State Street Company, today announced it has completed the integration of MTS BondsPro, an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (ATS), with the Charles River Order and Execution Management System (OEMS) and Inventory Hub. The Inventory Hub processes and aggregates inventory across a number of the largest dealers and liquidity venues. It offers users a centralized point to receive and interact with live data across a full range of products and asset classes.
MTS BondsPro offers streaming and fully executable liquidity on corporate bonds across the full credit spectrum, including emerging markets. With a global network of over 500 buy- and sell-side firms, the BondsPro all-to-all order book offers 180k+ prices at any given time across over 20,000 securities. Users are able to both trade on others’ markets and provide their own – all within the Charles River ecosystem.
“Offering our customers the ability to interact with our markets in the most natural way, as defined by each client, has never been more important,” said Sean Dzugan, Head of Sales at MTS. “Delivering our data, executable markets, and the ability to make prices within Charles River’s OEMS and Inventory Hub allows us to help our mutual clients realize the full potential of our liquidity in an environment they’re already working in. This represents a win for all parties and a step forward for the market structure of fixed income electronic trading.”
“Our buyside customers increasingly want the flexibility to act as price makers in fixed income markets and streamline workflows across the liquidity providers they interact with,” said Michael Beattie, Director of Product Strategy, Charles River Development. “Our partnership with MTS offers traders an all-to-all trading model with an efficient click-to-trade engagement that helps improve access to liquidity for the markets, geographies and asset classes they trade in.”
