We're committed to giving back
Whether it's through charitable donations or volunteering our time, we've always valued giving back to the community. That's why, in 2021, we created the MarketAxess Charitable Foundation, enabling us to shape the future of fintech, by supporting those in underserved communities and creating opportunities for the next generation.
We encourage our employees to volunteer with the partners that we support with charitable grants, as well as any other causes they're passionate about (which we give two paid days off a year to do!).
