Sell-side Fixed Income Trading in Asia: A Closer Look at Automation Technology

In Q3-Q4 of 2020, WBR Insights surveyed one hundred CDOs, heads of digitization and other senior figures from sell-side fixed income banks and brokers across the APAC region. The objective of this survey was to better understand their approach to implementing automation technology within their organizations.

This report aims to illuminate how the sell side is evaluating new opportunities for implementing automation technology within the region, especially in light of COVID-19’s impact on trading workflows. The survey was conducted by phone appointment. The results were compiled and anonymized by WBR Insights and are presented here with analysis and commentary from Bloomberg  contributors.
