Buy-side firms are beginning to test the UK’s new bond consolidated tape while continuing to refine automation across fixed-income trading desks. Speaking to Trader TV, ODDO BHF ASSET MANAGEMENT SAS, head of trading Sven Rudolf, says the firm is assessing data quality, pricing, and market adoption before deciding whether real-time access justifies the cost, ahead of the EU bond tape launch later in Q3.
He also discusses ongoing efforts to fine-tune rule-based automation through more advanced execution workflows designed to improve execution quality and reduce manual intervention.
