Slowly but surely, change is coming to municipal bond trading. For brokers, tech providers and trade-venue operators seeking to modernize transactions, the $3.8 trillion muni-bond market has all the challenges, in spades — small issue size, little standardization, and a highly dispersed network of buyers and sellers.

A recent fixed income conference, focused on technology and best execution, addressed the most pressing issues facing buy side traders in a post-Covid market. A recurring theme was how the buy side has yet to take advantage of or adopt new technology or data-driven solutions to enhance traditional trading and workflows, writes Colby Jenkins, a TabbFORUM contributor. In this article, Mr. Jenkins explains that the market is at a turning point, where the technology and solutions available are now adept enough to bridge the (technology) gap between asset classes, desks, or data ecosystems.

Adam Gould , head of equities at Tradeweb, reports that it’s been another busy year for the digital trading platform.
