Our story
It’s time to evolve markets
Octaura began as a joint incubation and co-development initiative between Bank of America and Citi, to address the challenges and limitations within the syndicated loan market. It all started with a clear vision to improve accessibility and instill greater confidence for every market participant.
It’s time for Octaura
We believe that the leveraged loan and structured credit markets have been hampered by time-consuming and manual trading for long enough. Octaura is dedicated to simplifying the trade lifecycle, enabling investors and dealers to execute their trading strategies efficiently and effectively.
Clients are at the heart of what we do
Electronic trading has never been more integral to helping investors and dealers execute their trading strategies. Octaura unleashes value by simplifying execution of the complete trade lifecycle for all in the syndicated loan market.
