12:20 360° Perspective: Working towards reliable fixed income Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) - Are we moving closer to a defined market standard?

As the requirement to prove best execution intensifies, the demand for a reliable fixed income TCA is increasing. With advanced TCA technology available for other asset classes such as Equities and FX, firms have been looking to develop a new methodology which can be used to improve trading processes and measure best execution. This market leading panel will provide expert insight on:
  • Are there adequate tools available to offer a reliable TCA service in fixed income?
  • Should there be a single TCA methodology encompassing all fixed income products or should you tailor your approach per product?
  • What are the key demands of fixed income TCA and how can you achieve this?
  • What is the adoption rate of 3rd party TCA and what are the latest developments?
  • Is it possible to have a reliable TCA across all products, or will you need different TCA methodologies for different TCA products?
