In light of new regulatory reforms and the influx of new technologies, one of the biggest challenges facing buy side organisations like yours today is how to adapt to the new market structure. This market leading panel with the top three US money managers will give you an insight into how you can adapt your trading desk to best respond to these trends. Attend this session to find out:
- What has been the impact of regulation on the fixed income market place- Defining the implications for the buy side
- Unintended consequences- What has been the impact on market liquidity and economic growth?
- Outlining a new market structure- How are the roles of market participants changing and the traditional roles becoming indistinct?
- Technological innovation- How has new technology changed buy and sell side interaction and trading desks?
- Have regulatory reforms led to a fragmented market structure with increased competition?

All to all trading models have been on the horizon within fixed income for a number of years now. However the success of this form of trading in fixed income is yet open to debate. During this session, sit back and witness these industry experts pit themselves against each other, as one camp argues for all to all models and the other against. Then have your say by putting each speaker on the spot with questions before you vote for the winning argument. This debate will cover:

- Will the ‘all to all’ model eliminate the need for banks and brokers?
- Will the market benefit from a neutral ‘all to all’ electronic order book?
- Will the development of ‘all to all’ models alleviate the liquidity drought?
- Will the intended consequences of greater transparency and stability materialise as a result of ‘all to all’ models?

The evolution of fixed income trading technology has rapidly developed in recent times to solve the liquidity drought. There is now an inflow of new and existing technologies tailored for fixed income. This panel, consisting of industry pioneers who have implemented new technologies to improve their capabilities, will discuss:

- What is the current state of e-trading in Fixed Income markets and what solutions are available for different market segments?
- As the buy side continue to grow, what trading mechanisms are best suited to support the demand for liquidity?
- What tools can you exploit to ensure you are tapping into all the liquidity in the market?
- Does the growth of e-trading represent a true and permanent market shift?
- What can the buy side do to execute ‘sleeping’ liquidity?

This buy side panel, with leading industry figures, will summarise the key themes of the day on the changing market structure and its impact on your trading desk. They will discuss which partners are best placed to help you source liquidity, reduce costs and ultimately prosper in a new fixed income market. With the panel consisting of industry pioneers from across the spectrum, they will be providing their expert views on:
- Who are the main providers of liquidity in the new market?
- Which is the best combination of brokers and platforms you need to prosper?
- What technology can help you reduce costs and achieve best execution?
- What systems and processes can best help you overcome the liquidity drought?
