Pre-trade price confidence is essential to every fixed income transaction – buying, selling and bidding any bond. From Markup/Fair Pricing to Best Execution, the Effi Market Calculator enables users to examine and capture market conditions prior to executing the trade.

The Effi Market Calculator provides both price confidence and execution efficiency, and:

• incorporates market data and utilizes the prevailing market price waterfall process,

• includes the algorithmic measurement for side-of-market and bid-offer spread adjustments by individual security or sector,
• provides on-demand calculated values for up to five securities, each with up to 8 relevant market observations, and
• supports compliance and regulatory requirements by archiving calculations and their underlying market data.

The engine empowers users to fine-tune each category of market observations to support specific regulatory requirements.
