LTX Secures Four Patents for Fixed Income Trading Innovations, Enhancing Bond Market Efficiency

Subscribe to our newsletter

Electronic trading platform LTX, a Broadridge subsidiary, has been awarded four new patents for its fixed income trading technology. The patents encompass bond similarity technology, dealer selection score technology, liquidity aggregation technology, and RFQ+ trading protocol, innovations designed to streamline pre-trade decision-making and optimise trade execution in the corporate bond market. Together, the patents enhance the processes for selecting bonds and counterparties, as well as for executing large-scale electronic trades, which may lead to improved pricing due to heightened participant involvement.

Established by Broadridge, LTX leverages AI-driven workflows throughout the corporate bond trading lifecycle, from analysis to trading. In June 2023, LTX launched the patent-pending BondGPT, followed by its enterprise version, BondGPT+, in November 2023. Both applications are designed to offer quick identification of corporate bonds and provide rapid responses to complex bond-related inquiries.
