28 Abril 2022 - 9:00AM
MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI) and MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: MKTX)
have agreed to enter into a strategic collaboration to create
innovative portfolio analytics solutions and co-branded fixed
income indexes incorporating MarketAxess liquidity data.
MSCI plans to integrate MarketAxess’ AI-powered
pricing and liquidity measures, including Relative Liquidity Score
and Tradability, into MSCI’s portfolio construction analytics tools
and its fixed income indexes. MarketAxess plans to leverage MSCI’s
ESG ratings to identify and create more liquid and sustainable
fixed income portfolios for its global institutional clients.
Henry Fernandez, Chairman and CEO of
MSCI, said: “MSCI is committed to expanding and enhancing
our fixed income solutions to reflect the increasingly complex
needs of the institutional investment community. As bond markets
continue to evolve beyond over-the-counter trading coupled with
compressed management fees, investors seek to effectively analyze
and index fixed income securities. MSCI’s strategic collaboration
with MarketAxess will empower investors with portfolio analytics
and index products, in addition to offering them tools and robust
datasets in growing areas of interest, namely ESG.”
Rick McVey, Chairman and CEO of
MarketAxess, added: “We have seen first-hand what the
addition of actionable market data can do to improve trading
efficiencies. This collaboration provides an opportunity to further
enhance our mutual clients’ trading outcomes by enabling them to
power their portfolio construction process with MSCI’s advanced
analytics. As our clients reimagine the benefits of using
electronic trading solutions, we see great value in using our
proprietary liquidity data to enhance MSCI’s proprietary portfolio
construction tools and market leading Index
platform.”
The strategic collaboration is subject to the
execution of definitive agreements.
