08:45 Head Trader Panel: Building the modern buy side fixed income desk- What elements are crucial to create a highly streamlined trading business in the current market?

Regulatory reform, shrinking dealer balance sheets, liquidity shortages- these are just some of the major challenges keeping buy side heads awake at night. As the fixed income evolution kicks into full gear, traditional methods of trading fixed income are changing, meaning internal reform is required to keep abreast of the ongoing changes happening outside your office. This pan-European head trader panel will provide insights on how you can build a strong desk to sail through these winds of change, sharing their expertise on:

Regulation- What processes are you putting in place now to practically prepare for the MiFID II deadline and what impact will this have on your trading?
Technology- What technology is crucial to improve your fixed income trading capabilities and how should you stack this around your current fixed income desk?
On the desk- How should you set up your internal structures to match an evolving external environment and maximise workflow efficiency?
What strategies can you exploit to overcome reduced dealer balance sheets and ensure you are tapping into the right liquidity hubs?
