We were thrilled to connect with the industry this week at the BVI Fund Operations Conference (FOK) to share our vision for a unified, transparent European bond market. As the official consolidated tape under MiFIR, fairCT is designed to solve the fragmentation and data quality issues that have long challenged bond trading.
You can find the slides from the presentation here.
Key Highlights from our Presentation:
- A Single Authoritative Source: We are building a "one-stop" service covering all reportable bond trades from every European venue and APA, eliminating the need for scattered, venue-by-venue data feeds.
- Quality-Scored at Source: Unlike raw feeds that require manual reconstruction, every trade on fairCT carries multi-axis quality scores (assessing timeliness, price reasonableness, and more) published in real-time, supporting real-time decision making.
- Governance for the Market: fairCT is structured for independence, featuring a diverse shareholder profile and a Consultative Committee that ensures all the relevant stakeholder groups have a formal voice in shaping data standards.
- Permissive Licensing: Our model supports the way you actually work—unrestricted internal use for analytics, research, and client advisory is included in a single group subscription.
- The Path to Launch: We are targeting a launch in Q4 2026 – Q1 2027, triggered by our "80/80" condition: connectivity with 80% of venues representing 80% of trade count.
