Execution
Since CCM’s founding in 1994, our non-positioning desk of senior bond traders has provided best execution for institutional clients—from money managers and hedge funds to mutual funds, investment advisors, and trust departments. Our business model is built around our clients’ needs, not those of a proprietary trading desk. We work with more than 125 positioning broker-dealers to make sure our clients see all potential opportunities in the market. Trades are executed on an agency or riskless principal basis, and all markups and commissions on our CCA platform are fully disclosed.
CCM’s IT professionals have created an advanced data management system that provides our traders with a timely and comprehensive view of the fixed income marketplace. Our system captures over 50,000 bond offerings in all sectors, and is updated continuously throughout the day. This helps our brokers find bonds and identify pricing disparities without disturbing the market. CCM’s trading desk is comprised of former senior and head traders from firms such as Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, Bank of America, Wachovia, Prudential Securities, Oppenheimer, and others. Our traders know how to move discreetly in the fixed income markets, getting the trade done the while protecting client anonymity.
