What type of marketplace does CBID operate in the fixed-income markets?

Retail only
Institutional only
Both retail and institutional
International markets

The correct answer is: Both retail and institutional

CBID operates in a marketplace that serves both retail and institutional investors in the fixed-income markets. This dual focus allows CBID to cater to a broader range of clients, facilitating transactions across different types of bonds and fixed-income securities. By including both types of investors, CBID can enhance liquidity and provide a more diverse trading platform. Retail investors, often individual investors, can access fixed-income products that may have been traditionally available only to larger institutional investors, thus democratizing access to these financial instruments. At the same time, institutional investors benefit from the increased trading volumes and liquidity that the retail segment can provide. This inclusive approach is significant in the context of fixed-income markets, which can be less accessible compared to equity markets, creating opportunities for both types of participants to engage more effectively.
