NEW YORK – November 2, 2023: PBI, an award-winning provider of Investment Management System, Enterprise Data Management and Managed Services to nearly 200 top-tier Asset Managers, Allocators and third party providers, has announced today it has integrated 7 Chord’s near real-time, delayed, and end-of-day bond prices for Corporate, Sovereign and Government bonds within PBI’s Investment Management System, which includes OMS, PMS and EDM.
BondDroid AI, 7 Chord’s award-wining real-time pricing engine, processes 100 million + data points per day, including firm and indicative quotes, post-trade levels, as well as a variety of macro and country risk factors. This data is distilled into actionable risk-neutral bid, ask and mid prices, yields and option-adjusted spreads with both speed and precision unattainable for a human trader or evaluator in today’s highly volatile markets.
Harnessing the power of adaptable AI, BondDroid® provides market participants access to highly accurate levels, with 95%+ very close to the next executed level, even for thinly traded bonds. Moreover, BondDroid delivers an unparalleled level of transparency in its systematic pricing, quantitative methods, and inputs, thereby allowing the end user to better interpret and act on the information.
Clients of PBI can now use BondDroid prices to support a variety of workflows across the entire Order/Trade management cycle, including optimizing and rebalancing their portfolio, managing transaction costs pre- and post-trade, identifying booking mistakes and outliers, measuring risk, and setting limits.
