Letter from the Managing Editor

Summer 2022

But that’s just the beginning. Also, on the cover we feature a profile and Q&A with Matt Boardman who runs all trading at RBC Wealth Management U.S. while also serving on the BDA Board. Inside we have sections on the muni market, technology and market structure, cross market trends, economic overview, the BDA policy focus, and much more.

This magazine - in both digital and now print versions - extends our presence and is an extension of the BDA’s advocacy for member firms. The BDA continues to be the only DC based trade association solely focused on the bond markets. It is this focus combined with aggressive, non-bureaucratic advocacy that sets us apart with tangibly beneficial outcomes for our members.

It is our membership that drives the BDA’s success and is reflected through the content on these pages, provided by industry leadership from Wall Street to Main Street.

A big thank you to the many contributors to this issue including the many advertisers.

We’re already looking ahead to the fall issue which – to no surprise – will feature much content on the mid-terms and the expected impacts on bond market provisions on Capitol Hill, as well as the tone from the regulators.

We value all feedback so please let us know what you think of this issue and of Fixed Income Insights overall.

Thank you for your engagement and support and helping to ensure the BDA is a strong, focused advocate for the $54 trillion dollar U.S. bond markets.
