Best executable AI pricing was created as part of Overbond’s suite of predictive algorithms for the fixed income capital markets. It algorithmically predicts the most optimal indicative new issue bond price as well as relative value secondary market best-execution bond price for global IG and HY issuers, utilizing machine- learning (ML) algorithms. The ML algorithms analyze millions of data points related to factors such as secondary levels, recent indicative new issue price quotations, company fundamental data elements, investor sentiment and sector comparables.
Overbond’s Primary Fixed Income Pricing model, COBI-Pricing, delivers on Price Discovery with competitive indicative new issue pricing. Clients can arrive at accurate indicative new issue pricing levels for issuers with only a fraction of the time and manual work required.
An adaptive, real-time liquidity score is vital for today's risk mitigation measures on the trading floor. Overbond provides a live intraday Liquidity Score on individual bonds that you can use to assess secondary market tradability on any ISIN/CUSIP at any time. Utilize it for pre-trade decision-making or to assess hedging options for credit market-makers.

Overbond’s AI RFQ automation uses prices and liquidity scores generated for more than 100,000 fixed income instruments, refreshed every three seconds to enable bond trading desks to fully automate 30% of RFQs and execute an additional 20% with trader supervision.

Overbond's COBI-Pricing LIVE uses three layers of interoperability to automate trading: it ingests and aggregates data from multiple sources, it integrates with the legacy systems on the desk, and it communicates with electronic trading venues. Interoperability of COBI-Pricing LIVE with legacy internal systems means trading desks can make COBI-Pricing LIVE their own by accessing recorded transaction history to train the model according to the trading style of the desk and significantly decrease execution costs. Interoperability with electronic trading venues allows for the ability to trade on multiple platforms and opens the door for smart order routing, allowing desks to optimize execution.

Transaction cost analysis (TCA) is used to monitor executed trade prices compared to best-executable independent pricing source. Pre-trade TCA looks at known parameters and attempts to minimize the cost of transacting. Post-trade TCA looks at historical trades against a benchmark, best-executable independent pricing source (Overbond COBI LIVE) and attributes the costs to underlying causes in the market and is used to evaluate trade execution performance. Overbond’s AI-driven bond pricing and automation suite includes real-time TCA, providing clients with post-trade TCA, pre-trade TCA and AI optimised trade execution recommendations.
Our TCA-Optimizer Report measures transaction costs.
