Christopher Concannon, CEO of MarketAxess, discussed the bond market and electronic trading in recent media appearances. In April 2023, he described bond yields as "very attractive" from a historic perspective, citing the end of a long bull market and Federal Reserve rate adjustments. He noted that retail investors are gaining access to bonds through tools like ETFs and separately managed accounts, and highlighted MarketAxess's role in electronifying the U.S. corporate bond market, stating the platform handles about 20% of it. He also pointed to investment-grade corporate bonds and municipal bonds as accessible markets with attractive yields. In earlier February 2019 appearances, Concannon addressed bond market volatility and high-yield ETFs. He said that MarketAxess saw record volumes in December 2018 during an ETF market drawdown, with market makers actively trading in the fixed income market and spreads remaining tight, which he described as "a very attractive disruption." He also argued that electronic trading generates data that can reveal actual liquidity in bond instruments, potentially aiding in creating smarter indexes, while acknowledging that less liquid markets may experience gaps during stress.
