What Solve Advisors does

Solve Advisors is a fixed income market data and analytics platform serving both buy-side and sell-side participants across the fixed income market. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in New York, the company aggregates 24M+ daily quotes from street messages across eight asset classes—including corporate bonds, municipal bonds, syndicated loans, structured products, BDCs/private credit, credit default swaps, convertibles, and indices—and converts them into structured, searchable market data. The platform combines SOLVE Quotes (quote aggregation), SOLVE Px (AI-driven predictive trade pricing with confidence scoring across 250,000+ corporates and 900,000+ munis), SOLVE Relative Value Analysis (cohort-based benchmarking), and a regulatory compliance suite covering G-47 time-of-trade disclosure and 15c2-12 analysis. Distribution is enterprise-direct via consultative, demo-driven sales, with tiered client login portals (SolveQuotes, AdvantageData, DIVER products, MBS Source) indicating subscription relationships with asset managers, trading desks, underwriting teams, compliance teams, municipal advisors, and direct lending/BDC platforms.

The company operates a SaaS subscription plus data licensing revenue model. In 2022, following a growth investment from private equity firm Charlesbank Capital Partners, Solve Advisors executed a roll-up strategy: it acquired Advantage Data and Best Credit Data in March 2022 to broaden credit and municipal coverage, and acquired Lumesis in September 2022 for $5.3 million to integrate the DIVER product suites and deepen municipal bond analytics. Earlier backing came from Credit Suisse NEXT Investors in 2019. The combined platform spans primary issuance (debt analysis, new issue pricing, scale writing), secondary trading (quotes, predictive pricing, relative value), private credit (BDC holdings and benchmarking), and regulatory workflows. Headcount stands at 101–250 employees.
