Overbond integrates Neptune Networks axe data to enhance client-specific analytics for corporate trading execution

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, ENGLAND, February 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Overbond integrates Neptune Networks axe data to enhance client-specific analytics for corporate trading execution and bring the latest in AI size-adjusted pricing and liquidity discovery

Overbond, an AI-driven fixed income analytics and trade workflow automation provider has announced the integration of Neptune Networks Ltd., a fixed-income pre-trade market utility, industry leading axe data, which will enhance the functionality and accuracy of Overbond analytics and the trade automation possibilities for existing Neptune buy-side clients. Overbond will also expand the universe of securities covered by its analytics and trading algorithms by incorporating Neptune data into each single-tenant client environment on request.

Axes have long been distributed to clients by sell-side fixed income desks to signal which securities they are particularly interested in buying or selling. Buy-side participants use this information to execute large trades, optimise order allocation and source liquidity for less liquid securities.

Overbond AI will now use axe data provided by Neptune—uniquely to each client—to enhance its size-adjusted pricing. This will be included in its analytics and trade automation suite, alongside the multiple price aggressiveness levels, separated bid/ask liquidity scoring and confidence scoring, which are already generated for every security.

Allocating trades via the best execution route can be a time-consuming and challenging process. That’s why Overbond developed its unique smart order routing (SOR) algorithm. SOR allows clients to see the optimal execution route given current market conditions. It uses a historical lookback alongside current dealer axes unique to the client, to determine the optimal dealer to engage for a specific security, given current market conditions. By incorporating live axe data from Neptune, the precision of the Overbond SOR algorithm is enhanced, further optimising the process for individual buy-side traders.

“We’re excited to Integrate Neptune and include client-specific API feeds into the Overbond AI suite of credit trading algorithms. The inclusion of Neptune data will help buy-side traders more efficiently discover desired inventory within the dealer-axed universe.” said Vuk Magdelinic, CEO of Overbond. Byron Cooper-Fogarty, COO of Neptune, added “Neptune has always responded to buy-side demand for connectivity to core workflow and analytical tools. The integration with Overbond is the latest step in that process.”
