Market structure and Trading as a Service (TaaS)
In 𝙇𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙇𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙧, I look at how liquidity is earned in today’s securitized products market and the implications for #SP issuers and #CLO managers.

𝗔𝘀 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘀. Liquidity pools into a narrower set of names, while the rest of the market becomes harder to price and exit. Chart 2 in Vanishing Volumes shows this dynamic across all securitized product sectors #RMBS #CMBS #ABS #CLO

In 𝘝𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘝𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘴, Part 2 of my Creditflux series, I examine the impact of dealer balance sheet retrenchment through the lens of declining trading turnover, and how that dynamic concentrates liquidity while widening the gap between the largest managers and the rest.

Trading was the moat, keeping banks involved with clients before/during/after each deal. As post-GFC capital constraints de-emphasized trading, banking fees became the battleground, with fee compression defining the last decade. The cost was less consistent support and service over time (Chart 2).

The goal is an actionable daily exit price. When exits are reliable, capital recycles back into #SP, participation broadens, and allocation grows - supporting healthier issuance, stronger mandates, and durable pricing power.

🐾Please meet Irish, Entegra’s Chief Morale Officer (CMO)🐾

For those in #SP, yes, that’s the same acronym as Collateralized Mortgage Obligation. This CMO, however, is more focused on belly rubs than basis points.

With him leading morale, it’s safe to say our culture is officially investment grade!

In today’s #SP market, where secondary liquidity is conditional, Trading as a Service #TaaS changes that operating reality by reintroducing continuous, bank-backed secondary presence to restore an actionable daily exit price.

In today’s SPs market environment, the ecosystem is at its healthiest when sell-side and buy-side incentives line up. So the most valuable support is the kind that improves both execution and participation. That’s what Entegra's Trading as a Service #TaaS is built to do.

⚡️ If you’re a primary/arranging investment bank in #securitizedproducts (SP), think of Entegra’s Trading as a Service #TaaS as the afterburner for your engine: white-labeled and embedded into your existing SP platform and workflows.

Hi Bluesky 👋 Dan Ezra here, CEO of Entegra.

After more than twenty five years working in securitized products, I founded Entegra to address the structural constraints shaping today’s fixed income credit markets and how they affect participants across the ecosystem.
