Abstract:Webull partners with Apex and Moment to offer retail investors access to fractional bond investing, democratizing fixed-income trading with lower entry costs and enhanced market data.
Webull, a prominent low-cost trading platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Apex Fintech Solutions Inc. (“Apex”) and Moment Technology, Inc. (“Moment”) to introduce fixed-income securities trading to its platform. This collaboration aims to democratize access to an asset class typically reserved for institutional investors.
Through this partnership, Webull customers will gain the ability to invest in fractional bonds, marking a significant departure from the industry's usual high minimum investment thresholds. Traditionally, bonds required investments of $1,000 to $5,000 or more, whereas Webull users can now start investing with as little as $100.
Arianne Adams, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Derivatives at Webull expressed excitement about expanding their product offerings to meet evolving market demands. She highlighted Webull's commitment to transforming the retail fixed-income experience, making it more accessible and user-friendly.
The partnership leverages Apex and Moment's advanced technology to provide Webull users with comprehensive bond market data and analytics. Investors can access critical information such as bond prices, yields, coupon rates, and more, empowering them to make informed trading decisions.
Bill Capuzzi, CEO of Apex Fintech Solutions, emphasized their goal of mirroring the equity investing experience in fixed-income trading. He highlighted Apex's platform capabilities, designed to offer retail investors innovative tools previously unavailable in this asset class.
Bond investments historically offer diversification benefits, often moving inversely to stock prices, making them valuable assets during market volatility. Webull's introduction of fixed-income trading allows investors to hedge against macroeconomic events and market fluctuations effectively.
Dylan Parker, CEO at Moment, underscored the partnership's focus on delivering sophisticated fixed-income trading solutions. Moment's cutting-edge technology enhances market access and data transparency, catering to investors seeking customized investment strategies.
Initially available in the United States, Webull plans to expand its fixed-income trading globally, extending this new investment opportunity to a broader audience. This expansion complements Webull's existing offerings in stocks, ETFs, options, futures, and fractional shares across multiple continents.
