The redesigned MTS BondVision places its users front and centre, delivering an intuitive platform that’s not only easy to use, but supports participants to make the best trading decisions through innovative automation features including auto execution and real-time data.”
Josephine de Chazournes, Senior Analyst at Celent, said:

As the buy-side is also under more costs constrains they need to be able to leverage technology to increase their speed and accuracy to request and respond to quotes with automated trading tools such as the one MTS Bondvision has just released.”
