Fixed Income Professionals Reveal Top Challenges

This first inaugural Fixed Income benchmarking survey (conducted with over 90 fixed income professionals)revealed that the biggest buy side headache is sourcing liquidity. This will come as no surprise to anybody who has any kind of connection to a trading desk. Regulation and Compliance was by far the second biggest challenge,with many clearly expressing that industry regulations are not having the desired effects; instead many stated that they felt the regulations were raising business costs and reducing market liquidity.

With this report, we further evaluate current needs, risks and opportunities for institutions and reference data professionals.

Some of the key findings include:

44% of respondents believe ‘Cost Effectiveness’ is the most important criterion when choosing a broker
73% feel that ‘Sourcing Liquidity’ is the biggest challenge they’re facing in their primary trading medium
Less than 25% of derivatives trading takes place using cash for 74% of fixed income professionals
