Alpaca has expanded its fixed income trading solutions by introducing US corporate bonds, including callable bonds, through its Broker API, building on its initial offering of US Treasury Bills. This development allows Alpaca's partners to access over 229 tradable T-bills and 500 investment-grade and high-yield US corporate bonds, enhancing opportunities for global investors to diversify their portfolios and pursue income. Alpaca highlights the growth in the fixed income market, with US markets accounting for a significant portion of the world's largest asset class, and emphasizes the rising demand for diversified income-oriented investments. The integration of corporate bonds aims to provide a streamlined equities-like trading experience, supported by fair and competitive pricing models and enhanced infrastructure for trade processing. Alpaca also plans to introduce additional fixed income products and fractional fixed-income investing, underscoring its commitment to expanding access to financial services globally.
