10:05 All Star Panel: Adapting to the new fixed income landscape- How can the full fixed income industry better work together to achieve a more effective market model in parallel with regulatory change?

Lower dealer liquidity, increased regulation and new technology have been the chief incumbents relating to a radical shift in the fixed income market structure over recent years. With this evolution now in full swing, our market leading panel will debate exactly how the these changes have impacted the full value chain, and debate whether this type of market structure is sustainable, or if anything can be done to improve the current conditions. Attend this debate where you will learn:

  • Have the intended and unintended consequences of regulation had a positive or negative impact on market structure?

  • Can the sell side still serve the needs of the full buy side community, or is there becoming a clear gap between what they offer the tier 1 buy side versus the rest?

  • Is increased competition amongst trading platforms good for the industry or is further destabilising your access to liquidity?

  • Are the buy side the new liquidity kings in fixed income markets or does the liquidity still remain on the books of the sell side?

  • Is the infrastructure currently available for the buy side to effectively access new liquidity pools or are there still major gaps in the industry?

14:00 TCA Workshop: What are the building blocks for obtaining reliable pre and post trade fixed income TCA?

  • How can you implement fixed income TCA to meet your execution needs?

  • What types of fixed income TCA models are being developed and how are they different to other asset classes?

  • Can a reliable fixed income TCA model encompass the full fixed income product range or should you use different TCA methodology for different products?

  • Is there the appropriate level of reference data within fixed income to create a reliable TCA methodology?

  • Pre and post trade TCA- How to use TCA to measure your trading performance
