BY PR Newswire | CORPORATE | 04/01/25 08:00 AM EDT

TORONTO, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CanDeal, the leading institutional electronic marketplace for Canadian rates, corporate bonds, money markets and derivatives, announces the integration of Corporate Matrix Pricing on its Evolution fixed income trading platform. With this new offering, CanDeal Evolution is the only platform with dealer-sourced intraday corporate pricing alongside robust capabilities for trading Canadian corporate bonds.

By aggregating prices from all of Canada's liquidity providers, this real-time intraday pricing establishes a new standard for corporate bonds, offering full pre-trade transparency into the pricing of individual bonds and the broader credit market throughout the day and at market close.

"The addition of Corporate Matrix Pricing on CanDeal Evolution means that our buyside clients can gain the insights they need to trade corporate credit with confidence, alongside other fixed income assets?all in one place and intraday?with the same pricing trusted to evaluate countless portfolios," said Robert Kelsall, Head of Credit Trading. "This is another example of how CanDeal works closely with both the buyside and the sellside of the financial industry to bring greater value to participants in the Canadian fixed income market."

The intraday pricing displays dynamic data and continuously updates with changes in spread and GOC benchmark yields, replacing the previously static, end-of-day updates. CanDeal DNA (Data & Analytics) powers the matrix pricing on Evolution with hourly snapshots of the sellside dealers' indicative corporate pricing. Traders can also leverage this intraday pricing to compare corporates against other fixed income securities, offering a real-time view across asset classes.

CanDeal's Corporate Matrix Pricing initiative was developed in collaboration with both the buyside and sellside of the Canadian trading community. To establish the most comprehensive credit trading platform for the Canadian market, CanDeal's dealers nationwide are now contributing their intraday corporate pricing along with their liquidity via the CanDeal Evolution platform.

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.
