InspereX Launches

Incapital and 280 CapMarkets complete merger to become InspereX—

A leading fintech transforming how fixed income securities and market-linked products are accessed, evaluated, and traded

InspereX announced today that it has merged the broker/dealers of Incapital and 280 CapMarkets, which completes the merger of the two firms and officially launches InspereX.

Incapital and 280 CapMarkets announced their intent to merge to form InspereX on February 18, 2021. By transforming how fixed income securities and market-linked products are accessed, evaluated, and traded, InspereX gives financial advisors and their trading desks, institutional investors, money managers, and issuers better control over executing their strategies and achieving their goals.

InspereX and its pioneering BondNav® platform – one of the first cloud-native bond aggregation platforms – offer clients a broad set of competitive advantages:

  • Deep access to fixed income investments across asset classes
  • Transparency driven by real-time technology
  • Aggregated market access, data insights, and compliance tools
  • Best execution targeting price improvements
  • Tech-enabled, multi-channel distribution
  • Industry-leading fixed income and market-linked product expertise, origination, distribution, and education

“Success in the capital markets today requires speed and depth of access, transparency, best execution, and real-time insights gained from the aggregation of market data that only technology can deliver,” said John DesPrez, CEO of InspereX. “That’s what makes InspereX such a powerful competitive advantage for the institutions, advisors and issuers we serve. Through innovation, we are delivering exactly what our clients need to achieve success with visibility and intelligence across the fixed income and market-linked product landscape. At the same time, we will maintain our commitment to excellence in client service – the human touch that distinguishes our approach.”

The InspereX leadership team includes Tom Ricketts as Chairman (formerly co-founder and Chairman of Incapital); John DesPrez as CEO (formerly CEO of Incapital); Dave Rudd as President (formerly co-founder and President of 280 CapMarkets); and Prescott Nasser as Chief Technology Officer (formerly co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of 280 CapMarkets).

The firm’s legacy includes:
