Trends in Fixed Income Trading 2017 — Part I: The Capability of e-Trading to Unlock New Liquidity
This report explores the ongoing structural shifts taking place in the corporate and government bonds markets. The report analyses how the historically central role of sellside broker-dealer balance sheets in the intermediation of liquidity flows is being eroded by regulation and is being replaced by new structures outside the confines of the investment bank balance sheet that are increasingly focused on directly incorporating pricing and liquidity depth produced directly by buyside firms. To understand this shift, the report lays out the regulatory and technological incentives driving these changes, as well as market participant responses to these e-trading drivers and changing market conditions.
