AIQ X™Privacy-Preserving Trading for Illiquid Bonds

Complex multi-lateral matching in illiquid assets. Built on institutional intelligence from AIQ Insight™ and AIQ Direct™, delivering privacy-first execution for large trades.

Large Illiquid Trades Leak Information

Traditional RFQ processes expose your intentions to the market. Every call signals your position.

Information Leakage Problem

  • Sequential RFQ process signals large position changes
  • Dealers adjust pricing when they know you're shopping a block
  • Market impact before you complete execution
  • Limited price discovery in illiquid names
  • No natural matching between institutional flows

Privacy-First Execution

  • Anonymous indication of interest without position disclosure
  • Multi-lateral matching reduces dealer intermediation costs
  • Information-preserving protocols protect your intentions
  • Natural liquidity matching between institutional flows
  • Price discovery without market impact

Rethinking Liquidity in Illiquid Markets

What if large institutional flows could find each other directly?

Privacy-First Design

Your trading intentions shouldn't leak to the market. Explore concepts where position information stays private until execution.

Direct Institutional Matching

When natural buyers and sellers exist, why route through dealer intermediaries? Lower costs, less market impact.

Built on Intelligence

Leverage AIQ Insight™ and AIQ Direct™ data foundations. Smart routing knows when to match directly vs. when dealers add value.

Built for Institutional Workflows

Solving real execution challenges in illiquid corporate bonds

Large Block Trades

Portfolio rebalancing and position changes

Execute $10M+ trades without sequential RFQ information leakage. Privacy-preserving matching finds natural counterparties while protecting your strategy.

Example: Sell $50M of illiquid industrial bonds without signaling large position unwind to dealers.

Cross Trading

Institutional flow matching

Match natural buyer and seller flows within the institutional community. Reduce dealer intermediation costs and market impact for both sides.

Example: Insurance company buying what pension fund is selling, matched directly with minimal spread impact.

Distressed Situations

Price discovery in stressed markets

When dealer liquidity evaporates in stressed names, anonymous institutional matching provides critical price discovery without signaling distress.

Example: Exit positions in downgraded credits without broadcasting forced selling to opportunistic dealers.

Pre-Hedging Reduction

Lower execution costs

When dealers don't need to pre-hedge your large order risk, spreads tighten. Direct institutional matching eliminates this cost layer.

Impact: Typical 5-10 basis point reduction in execution costs for large blocks through natural matching.
