SOLVE Redefines Relative Value Analysis for Fixed Income Portfolio Managers and Traders


SOLVE, the leading provider of pre-trade data and predictive pricing for fixed income securities markets, today launched cohort-based Relative Value Analysis, allowing institutional fixed income traders and portfolio managers to evaluate bonds against dynamically defined peer groups and market segments. The rollout broadens the existing platform's analytical framework, moving beyond isolated bond-to-bond comparisons into a configurable decision-support tool grounded in live market data.

"Fixed income portfolio managers are navigating one of the toughest macro environments in years, with elevated rate uncertainty, geopolitical risk, and compressed credit spreads," said Eugene Grinberg, Co-Founder and CEO of SOLVE. "Despite billions invested in technology, cohort-level relative value analysis at the institutional level has remained largely manual. We are proud to launch these transformational analytics in direct response to what our clients told us they needed: faster insight, more meaningful comparisons, and analytics that connect directly to what the market is actually showing."

SOLVE's Relative Value Analysis now includes two additional analytical frameworks:

  • Bond vs. Cohort allows traders and portfolio managers to evaluate a single bond against a cohort of comparable securities, providing a more scalable and meaningful way to assess whether a bond is cheap or rich relative to peers and supporting more informed bid and offer decisions.
  • Cohort vs. Cohort allows users to compare one market segment against another - for example, airports versus railroads, or one sector versus a benchmark subgroup - giving portfolio managers a powerful tool for identifying where value may be building across sectors, industries, or themes, and supporting capital allocation decisions at a higher level. An LLM-based natural language interface allows users to define segments conversationally, without navgating complex dropdown menus or parameter filters.

"Relative value analysis has long been limited to manual processes and generic tools or spreadsheets that struggle to manage massive amounts of data," said Tim Stevens, Chief Product Officer at SOLVE. "What we're launching gives portfolio managers configurable cohort and segment-level views they can define themselves so that analytics go from general to very specific use cases, powered by real-time market data. The most important integration in this workflow is the connection of our ML-driven SOLVE Px predictive trade levels to live bids and offers. SOLVE's advantage is connecting relative value insight to what the market is actually showing through SOLVE Quotes, so users can see which bonds look attractive and which of those are actually tradeable right now."

At its core, the platform closes the gap between identifying relative value and being able to act on it with confidence. For buy-side trading desks managing thousands of potential securities, the platform reduces the time from idea to action. For portfolio managers, it provides cohort-level clarity, supporting both security selection and higher-level capital allocation decisions, with a consistency and speed that spreadsheet-based workflows cannot match.


The enhancements directly integrate with SOLVE Px™, SOLVE's AI-driven predictive pricing engine, which operates on real-time market signals rather than end-of-day data, and SOLVE Quotes™, which aggregates over 30 million daily quotes from street messages. This allows users to move from identifying relative value to acting on it, closing the gap between analysis and execution that has long characterized institutional fixed income workflows.

The enhanced Relative Value Analysis is available to SOLVE clients. For more information, visit https://solvefixedincome.com/redefined-rv/.
