Liquidnet has pencilled in a first-half launch for its long-anticipated fixed income trading platform that, when live, will join a host of new initiatives aimed at easing liquidity pressures in the bond markets.
The buyside-only dark pool operator has spent the last few months testing the platform and now plans to launch before June 30, though no specific date has been set, according to Mark Pumfrey, head of Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Liquidnet.
