Arcesium, a global financial technology provider to the investment industry, has integrated additional MarketAxess Holdings Inc. data and analytics into its Aquata and Opterra platforms to provide investment firms with connected data solutions across the fixed-income trade lifecycle. The integration is designed to help hedge funds, institutional asset managers, and capital markets firms connect front-to-back workflows and improve data accuracy across investment and operational processes.
The integration brings MarketAxess CP+ and TraX market data directly into Arcesium’s platforms, allowing mutual clients to access pricing, liquidity, and transaction data within their existing fixed-income operational workflows.
Connecting Market Data With Fixed-Income Workflows
MarketAxess CP+ is an AI-driven, algorithmic pricing engine for the global credit and rates markets; TraX offers daily trade volume and transactional data for more than 42,000 global fixed-income instruments. When combined, the datasets offer market context for liquidity analysis, price discovery, relative value and risk analytics without the need for a bespoke integration process.
This allows investment teams to fold market intelligence and operational data into their workflow by integrating it into their price and liquidity decision processes.
“Fixed income markets can be dynamic, one market movement can have a ripple effect across portfolios. Having more data is only valuable if firms can lean on market intelligence and operational context across one view in order to make better decisions. Our integration with MarketAxess provides fixed income teams rich market data and clean operational data in one place, allowing firms to act on pricing and liquidity signals within their core operating environment.” said Alex Dobson, SVP and Head of Product at Arcesium.

built tools to operate at scale. By integrating our proprietary data with Arcesium’s platforms, clients can gain a reliable source of truth for fixed income trading and operations.” said Ena Gordon, Head of Data & Analytics Product at MarketAxess.
Expanding Fixed-Income Connectivity
Arcesium has also integrated with MarketAxess Repo Match since June 2024. The integration allows Arcesium to submit Opterra clients’ repo trades directly to Repo Match for trade-date matching against counterparty confirmations, including lifecycle events such as re-rates and close-outs.
The capability supports straight-through processing, earlier exception resolution, and automated books and records updates. MarketAxess Repo Match connects 127 buy-side and sell-side firms and handles more than US$700 billion in matched average daily volume.
Supporting Front-to-Back Investment Workflows
The wider integration is built on top of Arcesium’s Opterra and Aquata platforms. Opterra links front, middle, and back office functions across the full investment lifecycle, while Aquata delivers investment-focused data connectivity along with data models, lineage, quality controls, transformation, and reporting capabilities.
Combined, they are meant to provide investment firms connected access to fixed-income market data and operational detail. That helps smooth out workflows, and it supports better informed investment and trading decisions.
