Fixed income trading for institutional investors

The DESK is a quarterly magazine and news service for buy-side fixed income traders, sell-side dealers, technology providers and infrastructure operators.

The DESK exposes the ongoing evolution of the fixed income market from the perspective of the buy-side trader, bringing to light new efforts that will deliver liquidity, transparency and efficiency to bond dealers.

Our annual Trading Intentions Survey looks at the use of corporate bond trading platforms by the buy-side trading desks and also which platforms traders have an appetite to join over the next one-, two- and five-year
period. Faced with up to 50 possible platforms to choose from, and several platforms having tried and failed, each trader needs some insight into how the rest of the buy-side is viewing the options available.
