MarketAxess Announces Monthly Volume Statistics for November 2022

MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: MKTX), the operator of a leading electronic trading platform for fixed-income securities, and the provider of market data and post-trade services for the global fixed-income markets, today announced monthly trading volume and preliminary variable transaction fees per million (“FPM”) for November 2022.1

Chris Concannon, President and COO of MarketAxess commented:

“November was another very strong month, as we continue to build momentum going into 2023. We generated record total credit ADV, with record ADV in Eurobonds and municipal bonds. We also delivered another strong month of market share gains across most of our product areas, driven in part by the powerful benefits of Open Trading, our differentiated liquidity pool. 

Open Trading estimated price improvement4 was approximately $83 million in November, which equates to approximately $923 per million saved for our clients. Year-to-date estimated price improvement4 is now approximately $866 million, 65% above the prior year.

The strength of our performance reflects the enhanced foundation for growth we have established over the last several years by broadening and enhancing our global product portfolio, and we believe we are very well-positioned going into 2023.”

Select November 2022 highlights*

  • Record $13.1 billion in total credit average daily volume (“ADV”), representing a 25% increase compared to the prior year and surpassing the previous record set in March 2021.
  • 20.3% (+200 bps) composite corporate bond estimated market share,2 up from 18.3%.
  • 23% increase in U.S. high-grade ADV to $5.9 billion with estimated market share of 20.5%. Estimated U.S. high-grade TRACE market ADV increased 26%.
  • 31% increase in U.S. high-yield ADV to $1.9 billion with estimated market share of 19.3% (+470 bps), up from 14.6%.
  • Record 22.1% (+580 bps) estimated emerging markets market share,3 up from 16.3%, on ADV of $3.1 billion, up 9%; up approximately 11% excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
  • Record $1.7 billion in Eurobonds ADV, representing an increase of 29%; up approximately 42% excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. 17.7% (+440 bps) estimated Eurobonds market share, up from 13.3%.
  • Record $547 million in municipal bond ADV with estimated market share of 5.3% (+300 bps), up from 2.3%.
  • Record 38% of total credit trading volume was executed via Open Trading®, up from 36%. Estimated price improvement4 via Open Trading was approximately $83 million, and $866 million year-to-date. Average estimated price improvement4 per million via Open Trading in November was $923.
  • 2.9% estimated U.S. Treasury market share. A total of 45 institutional investor client firms traded on the platform in November as we continue to expand our all-to-all liquidity pool in U.S. Treasuries.
  • The preliminary FPM for total credit for November was $163, compared to $164 in October 2022. The increase in U.S high-grade average fees per million in November, driven by an increase in duration during the month, was offset by lower average fees per million in other credit products due to product mix. The preliminary FPM for total rates for November was $4.10.1

*All comparisons versus November 2021 unless otherwise noted.

2 Composite corporate bond estimated market share is defined as combined estimated market share across U.S. high-grade (derived from FINRA TRACE reported data), U.S. high-yield (derived from FINRA TRACE reported data), emerging markets (derived from FINRA TRACE-reportable emerging markets volume, principally U.S. dollar denominated corporates) and Eurobonds (derived from MarketAxess TRAX data which is currently estimated to represent approximately 70% of the total European market) product areas.
