ConvergEx, a provider of investment technology solutions and global agency brokerage services, has announced that Eze Castle Software has integrated its Eze OMSTM with MarketAxess, a fixed income trading platform.

Reportedly, this integration offers mutual clients an investment process by streamlining the workflow between the two systems. The company said that the traders can enter orders in the Eze OMS or MarketAxess, as well as send trade and execution information between the trader’s blotter and the MarketAxess platform. It is expected that the combined capability provides clients with additional execution alternatives for credit instruments and increases their overall operational efficiency.

Rob Keller, CFA, managing director of global product management at ConvergEx’s Eze Castle Software, said: “Through our integration with MarketAxess, we offer clients singleclick access from the Eze OMS to 54 of the leading dealers for fixed income execution in the US.”

Nick Themelis, CIO of MarketAxess, said: “We are pleased to partner with Eze Castle, to offer increased efficiency and liquidity to our mutual clients. The MarketAxess straight through processing (STP) solution allows our clients to easily execute trades and seamlessly display the trade details within the Eze OMS. This is especially relevant in the current volatile markets.”
