WSJ’s article in December 2012 predicted this surge in electronic bond trading
Banks and others predict an increase in electronic fixed-income trading next year as investors look beyond traditional phone-based trading with dealers, according to new research released Thursday.
Respondents from 24 dealer banks and brokers told independent researcher Tabb Group that asset managers would increase their electronic trading over the next year. On average, they said the increase would be up to 10% in terms of the value of each trade going through and up to 4% in terms of the number of orders being ticketed, according to the Tabb report.
