NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BondCliQ Inc., creator and operator of the first and only consolidated quote system for U.S. corporate bonds, announces today a partnership with BlackRock?s Aladdin? platform to deliver real-time, consolidated institutional pricing data to their client community.

Through this partnership, Aladdin users will receive direct access via the Aladdin? platform to licensed and attributed quotation data from over 40 contributing dealers across the investment grade and high yield corporate bond universe. With BondCliQ, buy- and sell-side institutions can leverage an easy-to-use pricing data set to improve key functions like monitoring liquidity conditions, dealer selection, measuring transaction costs, and reporting.

?Direct distribution of BondCliQ?s consolidated and attributed dealer pricing to BlackRock?s Aladdin client community helps to eliminate fragmentation and information asymmetry. The pricing data is more reliable for buy-side institutions because both buy-side and sell-side institutions have access to an identical data set,? said Chris White, CEO of BondCliQ. ?We look forward to working with BlackRock?s Aladdin and our contributing dealers to improve the quality and availability of U.S. corporate bond pricing data.?

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
