The future of fixed income primary markets is electronic.

 

Accelerating innovation with Liquidnet Primary Markets

Leveraging our strong grounding in the secondary market, Liquidnet is now helping to accelerate innovation in the primary markets, with a goal to become the first electronic unconflicted agency broker to provide an end-to-end workflow solution for the full life cycle of a bond.

Liquidnet Primary Markets is the first step towards this goal and represents two new offerings:

  • A Debt Capital Markets (DCM) workflow for New Issue Announcements

  • A trading protocol for New Issue Trading

Integrated into the existing Liquidnet Fixed Income desktop trading application, creating a seamless user experience from primary to secondary trading.

Liquidnet Primary Markets is available to Liquidnet participants in US and EMEA. Availability for participants based in Canada is subject to prior review and approval by the regulators in Canada.

Our Primary Markets Partners

The primary markets workflow consists of many critical components, each of which are significant drivers as to why connectivity and interoperability between companies and services is key to success. In addition to the individual contributors in the supply chain, the application of custom Gen-AI models can create a faster, more efficient workflow experience.  

Liquidnet is proud to partner with 35+ European syndicate banks and has established integrations with other strategic companies and platforms to create a dynamic Primary Markets experience.

Automated and streamlined

New Issue Announcements

Liquidnet is bringing greater visibility of new issue announcements to both the buy and sell side who can now engage in a quicker and more efficient way as deals are announced.

Our new workflow solves for the current fragmented dissemination of new issue data that is inefficient and time-consuming for the buy side to process.

Multiple access points
  • Announcement connectivity straight into leading Order Management Systems (OMS)
  • Integrated into Liquidnet’s existing desktop trading application
  • Additional access via a Liquidnet Member-only web portal for non-trading desk users, portfolio managers, analysts, and compliance teams
