WHAT WE DO

Why ficc.ai?

At ficc.ai our pre-trade analysis takes the emotion out of decision making, our trader assistant ensures you are getting trades filled at reasonable levels, and our post-trade analysis is your solution to best execution reporting requirements.

Automation Requires Accuracy

As daily tasks become increasingly automated, reliable input data is crucial for valuable output. Whether for trading decisions, investment allocations, or compliance oversight, ficc.ai provides real-time, accurate prices based on trade size. Market participants understand that bond price estimates depend on dynamic, daily information and transaction size. It's time to move away from static pricing.

ficc.ai uses state of the art artificial intelligence

ficc.ai employs cutting-edge AI developed in-house by a team of market experts and scientists. Our models deliver highly accurate, on-demand prices, predicting bid and ask levels, as well as our proprietary ficc.ai price for inter-dealer trades. We offer flexible solutions for pricing individual bonds, bid/offer lists, and entire portfolios, available via API or custom integrations.
