Subscribe to our newsletter

TS Imagine has expanded the product coverage within its TradeSmart Fixed Income Execution Management System (EMS) to include comprehensive support for loans trading. This update allows users to trade leveraged loans, syndicated loans, and distressed debt through the platform. The addition addresses a growing demand from trading desks for more scalable, automated, and integrated workflows across their fixed income operations.

This expansion builds upon TradeSmart’s existing fixed income capabilities, which already encompass investment-grade, high-yield, municipal, mortgage, and government bonds. The platform also supports asset-backed securities, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, listed securities, and cryptocurrency, enabling users to manage a diverse multi-asset portfolio through a single interface.

The new feature follows significant growth in fixed income automation for the company. Driven by the recent launch of its event-driven Automation 2.0 platform, TS Imagine reported a 200% year-over-year increase in automated fixed income execution volumes in Q1 2026, alongside a 44% year-on-year rise in overall fixed income trading.
