Buy-side desks are faced with challenging liquidity conditions and markets have seen no shortage of shocks in the first quarter of 2025. Joe Bellman, head of dealing at Arbuthnot Latham & Co., discusses how automation and the use of bilateral liquidity providers are helping his multi-asset trading desks navigate the recent turmoil.
In stressed markets, traders also have heightened pressure to scrutinize implementation costs against the certainty of execution, or their ability to trade their orders efficiently. Bellman unpacks his trader’s approach to implementation shortfalls; he looks at the rise of bilateral trading and discusses how his teams decide how much flow to send to alternative liquidity providers.
