Empowering The Buy Side

Friday, February 6th, 2015


14:00 360° Perspective: Buy side to buy side trading- Is this the best alternative means to source liquidity?

As banks balance sheets become strained and the buy side continues to grow, the pressure to develop new trading models has increased. There are a whole bunch of new ideas that the industry is talking about, and one of the more popular strategies has been buy side to buy side trading. This panel is made up of speakers at the forefront of fixed income innovation, who have different views on what method of trading will be best to source liquidity. Attend this session to learn:

- Why have there been so many failed attempts at buy side to buy side trading models?
- As volatility increases and rates begin to move, will buy side to buy side platforms take off in the market?
- In what way is the existing trading model limited in terms of sourcing liquidity and achieving best execution?
- Is it possible that buy side to buy side trading will take over the market?
- What can be done to move the buy side over to a price maker/price taker model of trading?
