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?
