These strong results include record quarterly emerging markets, municipal bond and U.S. Treasury volume, reflecting the powerful diversification of our global marketplace,” commented Rick McVey, Chairman and CEO of MarketAxess. “Credit spreads and credit spread volatility have continued to move back to more normal levels, and as a result, the estimated transaction cost savings we delivered to clients through Open Trading, our differentiated liquidity pool, grew to approximately $201 million in the first quarter, surpassing the $197 million recorded in 1Q21, and the average $125 million per quarter saved for clients for the remaining quarters of 2021.”

    The Company also reported preliminary variable transaction fees per million (“FPM”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $154 for U.S. high-grade, $188 for other credit, $172 for total credit and $3.80 for rates. The FPM for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 are preliminary and may be revised in subsequent updates and public filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any fee information in future press releases.
