The round brings Moment's total funding to $56 million and will be used to accelerate growth, advance partnerships with leading financial institutions, invest in research and development, and continue expanding its team in New York City. "Demand for fixed-income has exploded, and leading financial institutions are capitalizing on this unique opportunity to seize market share" said Dylan Parker, CEO and co‑founder of Moment. "These firms are partnering with Moment to co-create the future of fixed income - empowering their fixed income teams with a differentiated platform to win new business, unlock eight-figure revenue channels, and genuinely 10x their productivity." The $150 Trillion Fixed Income Market Is at an Inflection Point The funding comes amid a period of rapid transformation for the fixed income market:

• Electronic trading has skyrocketed, with corporate bond electronic volumes growing 10x over the last decade
• Rising rates - from near zero to roughly 5% - have sparked a surge in demand
• Financial institutions are increasingly partnering with fintechs to modernize legacy infrastructure
• AI advances are enabling workflow automation that was once thought impossible

Despite the market's scale, most workflows remain incredibly manual: traders juggle multiple screens, portfolio managers exchange sprawling spreadsheets, and critical coordination still happens by phone or chat. The First Operating System for Fixed Income Moment's platform unifies trading, research, portfolio optimization, reporting, and risk and compliance in a single system, with a layer of automation that allows financial institutions to supercharge their fixed income teams. Leading financial institutions use Moment to:

• Execute thousands of trades in seconds with automated execution rules
• Optimize tax-sensitive, multi-asset class portfolios across hundreds of thousands of accounts
• Scan all of their accounts and trades in real-time for compliance violations using custom rules
• Use AI-powered workflows to instantly generate portfolios from email requests, build transition proposals from PDFs in seconds, and produce client-ready reports with custom commentary

By embedding forward-deployed engineers with its largest customers, Moment co-develops multi-year transformation roadmaps while delivering near-term solutions in production.
