MarketAxess Holdings, the operator of a leading electronic trading platform for fixed-income securities, announced an expansion of its decade-long partnership with BlackRock to seamlessly integrate MarketAxess credit trading protocols, pricing and data into BlackRock’s Aladdin® order execution management system (OEMS).

The new connectivity will provide common clients of Aladdin and MarketAxess with an enhanced trading experience through integration of select MarketAxess credit protocols natively within the Aladdin platform.

As the market evolves, we’re seeing increased adoption of our automation protocols, with many of our clients turning to our strategies for over 90% of their trading volumes,” said Rich Schiffman, Global Head of Trading Solutions at MarketAxess. “We look forward to bringing the latest of our automation protocols, Adaptive Auto-X, as well as our market leading RFQ solutions, Open Trading, and Live Markets central limit order book directly to Aladdin clients through this partnership.”

We are excited to partner with MarketAxess to deliver an improved trading experience for our users.”
