Why We Are Different
- We have the largest online fixed income inventory. Our innovative bond execution platform delivers access to nearly every US fixed income offering available to investors. Our comprehensive 45,000 item inventory of Municipals, Corporates, Agencies, and Governments from hundreds of counterparties across the US gives you twice as much to view as most other internet sites.
- Fully Transparent Return on Investment Based Pricing. Our inventory has no hidden mark-ups built in. You can actually see the inside dealer prices. (Don't be misled by sites that offer low commissions, but have an asterisk leading to a statement about subsidiaries or others who might also get a mark-up passed through to their trading platform). To view our Pricing please go to Services and Costs.
- Super Efficient Systems. At Shop4Bonds everything is handled electronically. You can view inventory and order bonds 24 hours a day. Orders are completed during market hours and you receive Electronic Transaction Summaries within minutes of your trades. Settlements are easy with free ACH transfers, saving you up to $50.00 in wire costs for each trade.
- Support by RBC Correspondent Services. All our accounts are held at RBC Correspondent Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada, Inc. who has contracted with Lloyd's of London to protect client assets of up to $100,000,000 in securities and $1,000,000 of cash per account. All customers can view their accounts daily at Investor Connect.
"Take about 5 minutes to open an account with us today. Upon registration of your account you will receive your Permanent Account Number. Using this and the PIN you choose on your new account application, you will have access to our Shop4Bonds system. Registration generally takes one business day but can be accomplished faster if you call us at the number above. As soon as your account is registered, you may trade up to 25 bonds with us immediately. Then the door will be wide open to saving thousands in mark-ups and getting much higher yields on your bond investments. "
