CCM provides money managers with unparalleled access to the secondary fixed-income market, best execution, and a compliant method of acquiring critical independent research without compromising their fee structure. We also offer prime brokerage, commission recapture, and transition support services. Founded in 1994, CCM now has more than 60 registered reps and operational staff. We believe bond trading is still a relationship business, and our relationships on the street and with the buyside are key to finding value for our clients.

Supporting the trading desk, CCM’s IT professionals have created a proprietary database of corporate, agency, and asset-backed bond offerings that is updated continuously throughout the day. Our advanced data management system helps us find bonds and identify pricing disparities that can make a real difference in a money manager’s performance.

At other firms, a salesman passes off your order to a busy trader, but at CCM your broker goes directly to the street and works your trade all the way through to execution. By combining the sales and trading roles, we cut out a layer of cost. This allows us to work on thinner spreads while giving your trade the attention it deserves.

For most money managers, though, execution is only part of the game. High-quality research and analysis underlies most successful trading decisions. CCM is the leading provider of independent fixed-income research under the Section 28(e) safe harbor. We provide our clients with Bloomberg, CreditSights, Intex, Yardeni, and other independent research services that many money managers are unable to fund from their advisory fees.
