MarketAxess Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MKTX) operates the leading electronic trading platform for corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities. The stock price rose after the company reported strong financial results and growth in trading volumes. The company also announced an expansion into new product categories, which we think meaningfully increases the addressable market. We continue to own MarketAxess because we believe it will be the prime beneficiary of the secular shift in the corporate bond market from voice-based trading to electronic trading. (Josh Saltman)
