Participants on the platform are broker-dealers who trade retail-oriented fixed income securities. Dealers (a.k.a. Contributors) contribute inventory to the platform and brokers (a.k.a. Distributors) search for, buy, and sell inventory offered on the platform on behalf of their retail clients. Contributors benefit by having access to our clients' highly developed distribution network, and Distributors, in turn, benefit from their access our clients' quality co-mingled live inventory. Additionally, the platform is inclusive of both taxable and tax-exempt security offerings, and thus eliminates the traditional need for two distinct trading systems.
