Trick of the Trade: Pouring Liquidity Back Into Fixed Income
Larry Tabb, Konstantinos Antiochus, Michael Frino, Amy Koch, Fred Orlin, Michael Puar, Mike McCurry, Kathryn Hartmann, David Rockefeller Jr.
Post-crisis regulatory frameworks like Dodd-Frank and Basel III have forced dealer deleveraging, compressing inventory levels by 20% and shifting the corporate bond market from a principal model to a riskless agency structure. While electronic platforms and transparency tools like TRACE aim to restore efficiency, the divergence between exploding ETF assets and shrinking dealer balance sheets has exacerbated liquidity constraints and volatility. Industry leaders and regulators anticipate a fragmented evolution where organic market-driven solutions, rather than forced structural changes, will eventually rebalance risk-taking incentives against regulatory capital realities.
