MarketAxess Research works with institutional buy-side clients to deliver custom research and analysis to better inform their electronic fixed-income trading and execution strategy.

Leveraging its wealth of fixed income experience, MarketAxess Research focuses on many aspects of credit trading including trade cost analysis, fixed-income trading flows, portfolio pricing and fixed income exchange traded fund (ETF) pricing.

It has developed a proprietary approach called REXIQ to calculate execution costs by comparing electronically executed trades to prevailing market prices, allowing clients to calculate the annual portfolio performance improvement due to e-trading.

In addition to working with individual institutional clients, MarketAxess Research offers analysis of broader economic trends and policy changes that affect fixed income trading including tracking bid-offer spreads, and other measures of trading costs and market or security-specific turnover to evaluate changes in liquidity. MarketAxess Research offers its Market Data Reports on a quarterly basis for the professional trading community.
