ChartIQ, a financial technology company that delivers software to help the finance world work smarter, today introduced its Term Structure Graph for the fixed income and derivatives markets. The new solution is the first widely available real-time interactive chart to support FICC market participants. The release expands ChartIQ into a new category of the financial industry.
For the first time, any FICC vendor or financial institution can offer an interactive, real-time data visualization solution to fixed income divisions. Users can contextualize and visualize market activity in one chart that can be customized to any use case—ranging from Yield Curve to Option Analytics. Highlights include the ability to differentiate between recent and stale data points to understand market activity, and to drill down to see a time series chart for multiple instruments.
“Recent market volatility associated with the COVID-19 crisis has revealed a critical need for digital transformation in the fixed income sector,” said Dan Schleifer, CEO of ChartIQ. “Our company has created an ecosystem of tools that has changed the way financial companies do business, and now we’re able to extend that opportunity to an underserved segment of the market.”Fintech News

Now, our clients can better support their FICC users by allowing them to visualize and understand the rapid changes and fluctuations in market activity as they occur and ultimately, gain a clearer picture of liquidity and economic expectations.”
