Fixed Income Market Structure Working Group
Market-Driven Solutions for the US Bond Markets
The BDA is convening this group to proactively address the challenges and opportunities that changing business practices, technology, regulation, and market forces have on fixed income management.  The working group brings together a seasoned and diverse group of industry professionals.  As a 'Main Street' thought leader on fixed income market structure, the BDA’s new working group anticipates direct engagement with the SEC, Capitol Hill, federal regulators, and other market participants.
Underneath the cyclical gyrations in the fixed income marketplace, there are serious secular changes taking place. By virtue of its membership, this working group will provide a unique perspective about the critical issues faced by the fixed income industry. Our collective voice will play a critical role in helping policymakers ensure that tomorrow’s investors will be fairly served in the fixed income markets,” said 2020 co-chairs Brad Winges, Hilltop Securities and Kevin Giddis, Raymond James (retired).
Topics of interest to the working group include:
  • Federal regulation and the impact on fixed income liquidity;
  • Technology, execution and the impact on trading and sales;
  • Electronic execution in the taxable primary markets; and
  • Evolving buy-side capabilities and expectations
