SQX Introduces Shibui Markets for Retail Fixed-Income Investors
Author's note: Shibui Markets is now known as SQX Bonds
A New Way to Trade
SQX is proud to announce Shibui Markets, a revolutionary new fixed-income web app! Shibui exists to share SQX’s high-quality data on corporate bonds and structured notes with the world of retail fixed-income investing.
In the world of retail investing, accessing high-quality data can be difficult. It’s often gated by hefty fees. In many parts of the world, it’s simply unavailable. If you’re a retail fixed-income investor, you know how crucial this information can be. It’s certainly challenging to make a profit when you can’t be sure of your portfolio’s exact value! Shibui is here to change the status quo.
Since 2004, Shibui Markets has helped fixed-income investors from around the world come together for high-quality data and vibrant discussion. Now, Shibui is re-launching under the management of SQX, and will benefit from our background in fixed-income data for institutions.
Powered by SQX’s high-quality data, Shibui Markets is equipped to provide detailed information on a universe of over 160,000 global corporate bonds and structured notes. The radical part? This data is entirely, completely free. The world of retail fixed-income investing is about to change forever.
A Wide Range of Open-Access Features
When a user visits Shibui, they’re able to access the site's entire database. This freely-available data includes daily pricing updates. Shibui's sophisticated pricing model calculates prices for every security based on the most recent market data, making sure that investors are armed with the freshest information every single day. Shibui records historical pricing data as well, allowing investors to track the prices of individual bonds over time.
For each security, every Shibui user can view daily clean and dirty prices, market yield, yield-to-maturity, yield-to-worst, price history, plus core reference data. And there's no limit to the number of securities you can view! While Shibui’s data never costs a cent, this same information can cost over 100$ elsewhere.
In-Depth Account-Access Features
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With a free Shibui user account, you can take your investing to the next level with the suite of advanced features—including full reference data, detailed analytics, custom fantasy portfolios, discussion boards, and trade broadcasts. A Shibui account gives you access to insights on over 160,000 bonds and structured notes, and it won't cost you a penny.
Benefits of a Shibui Account
Let’s take a closer look at those benefits. While some bond data is available to all Shibui users, account holders can take their analysis to the next level with analytics such as Macauley duration and convexity. Other reference data includes details on coupon payments, calls, debt risk, and issuance. In addition to advanced reference data, dedicated investors can take their investment strategies for a test run with Shibui’s fantasy portfolios. Account holders are able to follow specific bonds and add them to their own custom portfolios to track their performance over time. These fantasy portfolios allow investors to try out their investment strategies in a completely risk-free space.
Perhaps best of all, creating a Shibui account gives investors access to a community of like-minded individuals. Shibui’s discussion forum allows users to swap trading strategies, compare notes, and rally behind successful investments. Shibui account holders can view the site’s trade broadcast, which highlights the investment activity of fellow logged-in account holders. Users will be able to view what’s working, what isn’t, and adjust their strategies accordingly.
A New Age of Investing
With free access to a massive universe of global corporate bonds and structured notes, Shibui offers retail investors the tools they need to excel. Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, Shibui's user-friendly platform is designed to elevate your investing game. The revolution begins now.
