Main Debate
The end-user trader view on the state of institutional credit markets.

  • Update on  fixed income liquidity. How is the buy-side sourcing liquidity? What is being done to address the structural challenges?
  • With the Federal Reserve in (slowly) tightening mode, what are the conditions on the ground with regard to volatility and liquidity?
  • Blurring of lines between liquidity providers and liquidity seekers
  • Automation and standardization in the new-issue market: what are the obstacles?
  • Buy-side-to-buy-side trading: what is the potential, and more importantly what is needed for the potential to be realized?
  • Assessing vendor solutions for SEC-mandated liquidity ‘buckets’
  • How can technology mitigate credit risk and by extension, increase trading?
