In this report, we utilized SIFMA Research’s comprehensive fixed income and securitized products databases
(www.sifma.org/statistics) to recap statistics for total U.S. fixed income markets, U.S. Treasuries (UST), mortgage-
backed securities (MBS), corporate bonds (corporates), municipal securities (munis), federal agency securities
(agency), asset-backed securities (ABS), money markets (MM), repurchase agreements (repos) and the secured
overnight financing rate (SOFR). We also analyze trends in ESG issuance for green, social, and sustainability
bonds.

In general, fixed income securities are borrowed capital for the issuer to fund government operations, public projects or
corporate investments, thereby fueling economic growth. The diversity of fixed income products both increases the
amount of funds available to borrow and spreads credit risk across multiple market participants.
U.S. Treasury Securities (UST) – UST are debt obligations of the federal government used to fund its operations.
Since UST are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, these securities are considered by
market participants as the benchmark credit. The U.S. government has a AAA rating, meaning it has essentially no
credit risk and can easily meet its financial obligations on time and in full. In light of this, UST show a diversity of
holders, in both institutional type and foreign holders.
Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) – Since mortgages (a debt instrument collateralized by a specified real
estate property) are less liquid than other investment vehicles, they can be securitized into MBS, whether in pass-
throughs or collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs).
Corporate Bonds (Corporates) – Corporates are debt securities issued by public and private corporations. They
are issued to raise money to fund investments or expansion plans. Corporates are considered riskier than UST,
and receive ratings by credit ratings agencies to determine creditworthiness, i.e. probability of repayment of debt in
a timely manner.
Municipal Bonds (Munis) – Munis are debt securities issued by state/local governments or government agencies
and public entities (utilities, school districts) to fund public projects, predominantly infrastructure related. Efficient
muni markets enable states and municipalities to borrow at low rates and finance capital expenditures over a
longer time period.
Federal Agency Securities (Agency) – Agency securities are issued by quasi-governmental agencies (federal
government, government sponsored enterprises) to fund operations. Unlike UST or munis, these securities are not
always fully guaranteed by the U.S. or a municipal government. As such, they can hold credit and default risk.
Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) – ABS are financial securities collateralized by a pool of typically illiquid assets
such as auto loans, student loans, credit cards, etc. Pooling these assets creates a more liquid investment vehicle,
with a valuation based on the cash flows of the underlying and the structure of the transaction.
Money Markets (MM) – MMs involve highly liquid, short maturity (typically overnight to less than one year)
financial instruments (certificates of deposit/CDs, bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper/CP, etc.), used by
investors to borrow and lend in the short term. Transactions in the money markets are wholesale, taking place only
between institutional investors (no individual investors) and for large denominations.
Repurchase Agreements (Repos) – Repos are financial transactions in which one party sells an asset to another
party with a promise to repurchase the asset at a pre-specified later date (a reverse repo is the same transaction
seen from the perspective of the security buyer). Repos can be overnight (duration one day) or term (duration up
to one year, albeit some are up to two years and the majority are three months or less). The repo market enables
market participants to provide collateralized loans to one another, and financial institutions predominantly use
repos to manage short-term fluctuations in cash holdings, rather than general balance sheet funding. Repos aid
secondary market liquidity for the cash markets (ex: UST), allowing dealers to act as market makers in a very
efficient manner.
Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) – In the U.S., the transition away from London Interbank Offered
Rate (LIBOR) to its chosen alternative reference rate, SOFR, is underway. While LIBOR is not fully transaction
based, SOFR is based on the overnight repo markets with ~ $1 trillion transactions per day. Publication of the
SOFR rate began in April 2018. Trading and clearing of SOFR based swaps and futures began in May 2018.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) – Dealogic classifies ESG bonds by:
o Green – Any type of bond instrument where the proceeds will be exclusively applied to finance or
refinance, in part or in full, new and/or existing eligible Green Projects and which are aligned with the four
core components of the Green Bond Principles (GBP)
o Social – Any type of bond instrument where the proceeds will be exclusively applied to finance or refinance
in part or in full new and/or existing eligible Social Projects and which are aligned with the four core
components of the Social Bond Principles (SBP)
o Sustainability – Bonds where the proceeds are exclusively applied to finance or refinance a combination of
both Green and Social Projects
o Region – Deal nationality is a calculated nationality that looks at the business nationality of the issuing
entity with the exception of securitizations that are categorized using the nationality of business of the
originator or if undisclosed the nationality of risk
Quarterly Reports
o Equity and related: capital formation (IPOs, other issuance statistics); market performance (index prices);
volatility (VIX); cash equites, ETFs, and multi-listed options volumes; exchange market shares and
landscapes; equity market cap and number of listed companies
o Fixed Income – Issuance & Trading: issuance and trading metrics for U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed
securities, corporate bonds, municipal securities, federal agency securities, asset-backed securities, and
secured overnight financing rate (SOFR), as well as statistics on fixed income ESG issuance for green, social,
and sustainability bonds
o Fixed Income – Outstanding: outstanding balances for U.S. Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, corporate
bonds, municipal securities, federal agency securities, asset-backed securities, money markets, repurchase
agreements, and secured overnight financing rate (SOFR)
o Financial Institutions: financial (income statement and balance sheet metrics) and regulatory (ratios such as
capital levels) data for CCAR firms, essentially a proxy for the financial services industry
