ICMA is delighted to announce that, for the first time, its Secondary Markets Forum and AMIC / Buy-side Forum will come together for a joint event, kindly hosted by NatWest Markets, creating a unique platform for dialogue between the buy-side, sell-side, trading venues, policymakers and regulators. The conference has been designed to encourage a broad and active discussion across the secondary bond market and investment community on the key issues influencing secondary markets today, recognising the growing importance of buy-side perspectives in shaping the future of fixed income markets.

The programme will explore topics including market liquidity, trading and market structure, artificial intelligence, T+1 settlement, buy-side digitalisation and industry trends and the evolving role of non-bank financial institutions, alongside keynote addresses from both senior policymakers and industry leaders. The day will conclude with a networking reception, offering participants the opportunity to continue discussions with peers from across the international capital markets community.
