In this episode of CMXtra, we delve into the challenges and opportunities presented by automation in the European primary bond market.
Join host David McClelland as he sits down with industry experts:
- Olivier Dermaux, Executive Director - Fixed Income Strategy at S&P Global Market Intelligence
- Chetna Mistry, Head of London Portfolio Operations and Senior Trader at WAMCO
- Asif Sherani, Managing Director, Head of DCM Syndicate EMEA at HSBC.
Together, they explore how technology and collaboration can streamline the new issue process for buy-side participants, the need for standardisation in adopting new solutions and how the buy and sell side can collaborate to achieve this, as well as the implications of automation for buy-side and sell-side interactions.
The panel also examines advancements in automating the new issue process, role of platforms like S&P, Bloomberg, and DirectBooks in reducing manual operations, how new technology initiatives such as AI and Blockchain are changing the game, and the potential for tokenization in new issuance, looking at both the benefits and challenges it presents.
