Trends in Fixed Income Trading 2020
Dissecting the Global Fixed Income E-trading Landscape
This report, the eighth annual report in an on-going series, explores change in the structure of the global fixed income market from an e-trading perspective witnessed since 2013, spanning bonds, rates, swaps and applicable structured products. Where once the historical business models of market participants were characterised by voice / manual or e-manual sales-trader processes and workflows, in 2020 digitalisation and electronification in response to new regulations are exposing the frailties of those once opaque methods while also incentivising growth in innovative approaches to transaction execution and business model design.
