Created for firms, these monthly reports cover trades of Treasuries, Securitized Products, Agency Bonds, and Corporate Debt that a member firm reported to the Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE).  Firms are required to report trades in accordance with established FINRA rules and regulations.

Scholars have published several papers that evaluate TRACE's impact on liquidity, valuation and other aspects of the U.S. Corporate Bond market. Abstracts and links to the studies are listed below.

Released quarterly and free of charge, the TRACE Fact Book gives individual investors, market professionals, media and educational institutions a historical perspective of the OTC U.S. corporate bond market. The Fact Book provides insight into data and trends based on aggregated data as reported through TRACE.

This data provides total and average daily trading volumes for the prior month in corporate, agency and securitized products reported to TRACE. 

This data provides market activity as of end of day for structured products, based on transactions reported to TRACE. Tables of aggregated price levels are organized by product type.

This data consist of aggregated over-the-counter (OTC) trading information published by FINRA on a delayed basis for each alternative trading system (ATS) and member firm with a trade reporting obligation for transactions in national market system (NMS) stocks and OTC equity securities under FINRA rules. The trading information is derived directly from OTC trades that ATSs and member firms report to FINRA’s equity trade reporting facilities. These data sets do not include information about transactions that occur on national securities exchanges. 

The Symbol Directory provides a search function to locate issues by name or symbol for over-the-counter (OTC) equities. The directory is available for both historical OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) issues and other OTC issues.
