TradeCross : The First Pan-european Anonymous All-to-All Crossing Network Designed by the Buy-side
The corporate bond market is currently facing an unprecedented liquidity crisis that originates, among other factors, from a significant reduction in the market-making capability of the traditional sell side institutions. New regulatory constraints have put major strains on dealers' capabilities to hold large fixed income securities inventories for extended periods of time.
As a result, it is increasingly difficult for investment managers and dealers alike to access liquidity and execute their trades. Faced with these structural changes, Fixed Income investors have taken the lead while a number of Buy-side firms have gotten organized by setting up TradeCross. This innovation will develop and explore new models to answer their needs at a time when bond trading is moving rapidly towards an all-electronic, all-to-all market structure.
