Research and Markets: European Fixed Income: Volatility, Uncertainty and Shifting Economics

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4t6kk2/european_fixed_inc) has announced the addition of the "European Fixed Income: Volatility, Uncertainty and Shifting Economics" report to their offering.

European institutional investors reveal trends in the fixed-income markets.

European institutions have been experiencing liquidity disruptions in certain fixed-income products as a result of the lingering sovereign debt crisis. Even if European political leaders succeed in quelling the crisis and restoring order to government bond markets in the coming year, institutional fixed-income customers could face continued hurdles in the form of diminished coverage and liquidity from major fixed-income dealers who are wrestling with more secular questions about the long-term profitability of bond trading and other investment banking business.

This report also reveals how dealers are adjusting their approach to fixed income, Greenwich Associates recommendations to buy-side firms to best position themselves with dealers in the face of a changing economic environment, and the diverging paths of hedge funds in Europe and the United States.
