ETS Connect Plus has partnered with TS Imagine to supply post-trade bond data to the vendor’s clients.
The ‘Plus’ dataset will be available through TradeSmart, TS Imagine’s execution platform, and RiskSmart, its risk management offering.
It will also feed into TSIQ, the AI platform for capital markets that the firm launched in September following a five-year, $100 million investment.

Andy Rogers, chief product officer at Etrading Software, said: “Most fixed income desks have TRACE data built into their execution and analytics tools already. UK and EU bond data are on the same path, but adoption is happening much faster. That gives the market the opportunity to see a more complete picture of global trading activity in real time.
“Bringing ETS Connect Plus to TS Imagine’s TradeSmart, RiskSmart and TSIQ puts UK and European fixed income data directly into the execution, risk and portfolio workflows TS Imagine’s clients already rely on.”
ETS Connect Plus combines UK and EU post-trade bond data in a single feed, adding reference data and normalised trade flags.
Since the data will be integrated directly into TS Imagine’s platforms, clients will not need to build their own connections, although access is limited to those holding an ETS Connect Plus licence.
Alexis Sainte Marie, head of fixed income product at TS Imagine, said: “Greater transparency in European fixed income only helps our clients if it reaches the tools they use every day. Adding ETS Connect Plus gives TS Imagine users UK and EU bond data side by side, providing a more complete picture of the markets they trade.
“And because the data is clean and well structured, TSIQ can work with it from day one, so clients get AI-driven insight grounded in data they can trust and verify.”
TS Imagine has made several other fixed income moves this year, expanding its integration with Trumid’s electronic trading platform in July and partnering with OpenYield in May.
