Pleased to have co-hosted our first #APAC client event in Tokyo last week, in partnership with Coalition Greenwich (a division of CRISIL), to launch our latest research report titled "The Evolution of Global Bond Trading in Japan." Joined by 34 Japanese buy-side participants, our panel of speakers—Hiruta Akiko, Ejiri Yasunori, Tomokuni Higano, CFA, Seiji Ishii and Aya Asanuma—led discussions that explored the surge in demand for global #FixedIncome securities, the growth of #ElectronicTrading in #Japan and the unique opportunities that lie ahead for Japanese investors. A special thank you to Christophe Roupie, our Head of EMEA and APAC, and Riad Chowdhury, our Head of APAC, for hosting the session. And thank you to our partners at Coalition Greenwich, all our speakers and attendees for your valuable support and insights. Look out for the full report launch next week. We look forward to seeing you again soon and to continuing our work together to shape the future of Japan’s fixed income markets.

When Birmingham City Football Club approached Raj Paranandi, MarketAxess COO EMEA & APAC, about becoming involved with the club’s charitable foundation, he said it was a Jerry Maguire moment: “You had me at hello.” Now, Raj, who’s been a lifelong fan of the club, says there’s a common thread between #football and #finance—and he’s weaving that thread to help younger generations find their role in finance. https://okt.to/OtQ5Lb
