Introducing the SPDR® MarketAxess Investment Grade 400 Corporate Bond ETF (LQIG). Designed to provide liquid, transparent, and efficient access to the investment-grade corporate bond market.
With $1.2 trillion in AUM,1 fixed income ETFs have emerged as effective tools for liquidity and price discovery. But investor demand remains for more liquid, transparent, and efficient exposure to the full curve of the US investment-grade credit market.
Now, investors can gain the US investment-grade bond market exposure they want while seeking enhanced liquidity. And more accurate real-time pricing visibility into the corporate bond market means potentially tighter bid-ask spreads and less volatile premium/discounts.
Combining the transparency and tradability of an ETF with tracking an index utilizing proprietary liquidity data, LQIG seeks to deliver access to US investment-grade bonds with higher-than-average liquidity relative to the broader US corporate bond market.
SPDR ETFs partnered with MarketAxess to build a new kind of fixed income solution designed for liquidity and tradability.
Having launched the first US-listed ETF in 1993, SPDR ETFs is a liquidity leader.2 Our nearly 40 fixed income ETFs are backed by the skill of our global institutional fixed income portfolio management team.
As one of the world’s largest institutional electronic fixed income trading venues,3 MarketAxess offers unique insight into bond market liquidity and pricing:
Relative Liquidity Score (RLS)
The RLS quantifies bond liquidity relative to other securities, to quickly assess how liquid a bond is using a 1 to 10 scale.
Composite+ (CP+)
CP+ is a proprietary pricing algorithm for two-way (bid/offer) bond prices that are updated every 15 to 60 seconds.
