Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT), a global capital markets technology platform services provider, announced today that it has entered into an agreement with ICE Data Services, which is part of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), to use its foundational evaluated prices and reference data in TT’s new buy-side Fixed Income execution management system (EMS). Additionally, TT will offer ICE’s “Continuously Evaluated Price” (CEP) market data feed to TT clients. 

Launching later this year, the new buy-side fixed income EMS will reside natively within the TT multi-asset platform and initially focus on USD Rates and Credit products. This integration allows clients to leverage the same familiar trading widgets and post-trade services they already use for futures, options and FX. Market participants can experience the new platform firsthand this week at the Fixed Income Leaders Summit (FILS) in Boston—a premier three-day conference attracting over 1,000 attendees from 300 companies.

Chris Heffernan, EVP, Managing Director, Fixed Income of TT, said: “The launch of our new buy-side fixed income EMS, powered by premier ICE data, marks a major milestone for the TT platform. By unifying fixed income, futures and FX on a single screen, we are giving clients direct access to the industry’s most sophisticated, award-winning execution tools, and unlocking unprecedented cross-asset trading possibilities.”

Mark Heckert, COO, Data Services, at ICE said: “We are pleased to work with TT to integrate our global, multi-asset class, fixed income reference data, End of Day Evaluated Prices, and CEP into their new buy-side Fixed Income EMS. Our fixed income evaluations and reference data on over 3 million instruments are used throughout the trade lifecycle and may become a valuable resource for users of the new platform.”

Heffernan said: "Navigating the constantly evolving fixed income market requires a platform built for modern complexities. We’ve dedicated extensive time, resources and expertise to engineer the TT platform for this exact environment, reinforcing our commitment to delivering innovative solutions to help define the next-generation, multi-asset EMS for tomorrow's trading desks."
