OTCX, a leading multi-dealer bilateral RFQ platform for off-venue interest rate derivatives, has integrated with thinkFolio, IHS Markit's investment management platform.

thinkFolio offers its clients advanced modelling and trading management tools for all asset classes, including fixed income and derivatives instruments. However, many of these derivatives are still traded via voice, chat or email. OTCX, by linking clients directly to their dealers, aims to bring trading workflow efficiencies and reduce operational risk due to manual input. thinkFolio clients are now able to ask for prices and negotiate interest rate swaps across G10 and EM currencies on outrights, curves, flys or bespoke packages for portfolio operations like rolls and compressions.
 
“Certification with IHS Markit’s thinkFolio platform brings peace of mind to our clients and an innovative solution to an OTC trading market that has not benefited from digital disruptors. We are looking forward to continuously bringing value to our common clients by expanding the integration coverage and defining new trading standards for non-linear derivatives,” says Nicholas Leib, Head of Product at OTCX.
 
“We’re delighted that OTCX is now certified on our investment management platform,” says Keith Viverito, Managing Director for thinkFolio at IHS Markit. “We are collaborating with premium trading platforms, such as OTCX, to extend thinkFolio and to enable us to manage essential trading interfaces on our clients’ behalf.”
