Charles River Development has formalized a partnership with OpenDoor Securities (OpenDoor) to provide asset managers with access to OpenDoors all-to-all market-based solution for off-the-run US Treasuries and TIPS, directly from the Charles River Investment Management Solution (Charles River IMS). Under the agreement, Charles River clients will be able to participate in OpenDoors daily anonymous auctions from their trading blotter.
The Charles River IMS provides connectivity to leading global fixed income venues, enabling buy-side clients to source liquidity across asset classes, analyze execution quality from multiple dimensions and demonstrate best execution to investors and regulators.
OpenDoors unique market-based solution hosts multiple, anonymous trading auctions, concentrating liquidity at certain times of the day. The platform provides both traders and institutions with anonymous, session-based trading through a dealer-sponsored model with zero information leakage.
OpenDoor is delighted to partner with Charles River, a proven leader in innovative connectivity, risk and compliance solutions, said OpenDoor CEO and President Susan Estes. Our collaborative effort to provide trade and post-trade connectivity and settlement for our shared customer base of institutional asset managers, banks, wealth managers, hedge funds, pensions and insurers, speaks to our joint commitment to enhance our mutual clients execution quality and access to OFTR US Treasury and TIPS market liquidity.
We have been working with leading fixed income venues to provide our clients with a broad range of fixed income execution options directly from the Charles River IMS. Our clients are also facing increased regulatory pressure to demonstrate best execution in fixed income markets, said Peter Lambertus, CEO, Charles River. The OpenDoor partnership is an important step forward to help clients successfully navigate the rapidly changing fixed income trading landscape and respond to regulatory mandates.
In the six months since launch, OpenDoors order volume has exceeded $200 billion, with a matched trade volume of $6.3 billion.
