Corporate Bond Recommendations Now in Financial Advisors' Workflow

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gimme Credit, a leading provider of corporate bond buy and sell recommendations, and BondDesk Group, a leader in fixed income technology and operator of the largest odd-lot fixed income alternative trading system (ATS), announced today the availability of Gimme Credit's recommendations on BondDesk's award winning BondWorks(TM) Wealth Management Platform. 

The new integration of independent bond research and trading will reach several hundred thousand brokers and financial advisors.  Users of BondWorks will have access to Gimme Credit's analyses at the moment they make trading and investment decisions.

"This is about channeling high-quality credit analysis to the community that supports retail bond investors," said Greg Rauscher, Manager of Broker Services at Gimme Credit. "It's a workflow enhancement, made possible by BondDesk's widespread and growing bond platform."

Gimme Credit provides reports and comments to banks, brokers, corporations and institutional investors. Unlike a credit-rating agency, Gimme Credit makes hard buy and sell recommendations based on forward-looking credit analysis and market conditions.  The company was founded in 1994 and currently services several hundred institutions.

"We want to make it as easy as possible for the financial advisors on our platform to research and invest in bonds," said Kamaryn Tanner, Managing Director, BondDesk Group.  "We are excited that we can now streamline our users' workflow even further by providing seamless access to Gimme Credit's independent, corporate bond recommendations."
