12.00 Prices & data in the secondary markets
With a wide variety and uneven flow of BWICs circulating each day many traders are unsure as to whether they are seeing all the bonds offered, and where to bid. Should the structured finance market work together to normalise this data flow, promote transparency and ultimately put the needs of the wider investment community first? Should regulators try to exert influence on this most opaque of market practices? Or is today’s situation favourable?
Panel includes:
Mark Hale, Prytania Investment Advisors
13.00 Lunch
14.00 Secondary markets trading, pricing & valuation
Trading and pricing issues in the ABS, MBS, CDO and CLO secondary markets. How are investors incorporating the effects of macro events such as European banking and sovereign uncertainty on trading decisions and valuations? How are end-investors digesting such volatility? Is yield pick-up attracting in-flows?
