IMTC has announced an agreement with ICE Bonds, part of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (ICE), to integrate ICE Bonds' fixed income liquidity into the IMTC platform. The integration is designed to enhance trading workflows by combining electronic bond trading capabilities with portfolio management and optimization tools in a unified environment.
IMTC announced that it is integrating ICE Bonds' fixed income liquidity into its technology platform, enabling institutional portfolio managers to access electronic bond trading directly within existing investment workflows.
According to the company, the integration allows clients trading through ICE Bonds' BondPoint and TMC marketplaces to execute trades using click-to-trade functionality while incorporating portfolio optimization into the trading process.
The initiative aligns with IMTC's broader strategy of bringing portfolio construction, compliance, optimization, and execution together within a single fixed income workflow.
The companies stated that the integration enables investment teams to align trading decisions more closely with portfolio objectives by embedding electronic trading capabilities directly into IMTC's workflow platform.
The combined solution is intended to reduce workflow fragmentation while improving access to liquidity and supporting more efficient execution across fixed income portfolios.
According to IMTC, integrating trading functionality alongside portfolio management tools helps investment professionals move from portfolio analysis to trade execution without switching between multiple systems.
"Integrating ICE Bonds with IMTC's workflow solution makes fixed income liquidity more accessible for our mutual clients and helps them achieve greater execution certainty when trading through ICE Bonds' BondPoint and TMC marketplaces," said Peter Borstelmann, President of ICE Bonds.
"ICE has decades of experience bringing innovation and greater electronification to the markets we serve and we're pleased to work with IMTC to provide access to our deep pools of liquidity and help our mutual clients streamline their fixed income trading workflows."
"This agreement with ICE Bonds enhances our ability to help clients trade faster, act on liquidity more efficiently, and produce executable output in accordance with portfolio strategies," said Russell Feldman, Chief Executive Officer of IMTC. "By embedding electronic trading capabilities directly into IMTC, we are delivering on our promise to make it easier for clients to optimize and execute within one connected workflow."
The integration reflects the increasing adoption of connected trading platforms within institutional fixed income markets, where portfolio management, compliance, execution, and reporting are becoming more closely integrated.
By combining access to electronic liquidity with portfolio optimization capabilities, IMTC aims to support investment managers seeking greater operational efficiency while maintaining alignment with investment strategies and compliance requirements.
