Our Mission

U.S. corporate bond markets move fast, data is fragmented, and trading desks need answers now. Traditional terminals weren't built for this reality.

Our goal: give every trader, portfolio manager, and quant team the edge that comes from faster, more flexible market intelligence.

Our expertise

Market structure, applied AI and the data underneath

Fixed income market structure

AIQ Insight is built on FINRA TRACE, including 144A trades since June 2026, and treats capped print sizes as the estimates they are. Moody’s ratings, CUSIP Global Services reference data, the Treasury curve for G-spreads and, for entitled users, MarketAxess CP+ pricing sit alongside it.

Applied AI for fixed income

Our agents answer plain-English questions with every figure traced to a named source. They are measured against an evaluation set of resolved bond-market edge cases, and each answer gets an independent confidence check.

Production data engineering

Daily FINRA, MarketAxess and Moody’s feeds are landed, verified and modelled in a governed Snowflake warehouse managed as code. The web app and the API read from that same warehouse, so both give the same answers.

Careers

We're looking for exceptional engineers, traders, and market-structure experts who want to build the future of fixed income trading. Competitive NYC compensation, meaningful equity, and top-tier benefits.
