Case Study: UBS Asset Management1
A story of
innovation
Using a range of MarketAxess trading protocols,
alongside real-time market data and analytics,
Surti and his team have enhanced both the
efficiency and effectiveness of the trading
desk. That allows them to have more time to
dedicate to more sensitive trades and reduce
risk of errors.
It’s the kind of future-forward thinking
that enables UBS-AM to take advantage of
opportunities in some of the world’s most
dynamic economies.
UBS Asset Management (UBS-AM)’s adroit
approach in Asia necessitates taking a leading
position on technology. In fixed income that
means thinking strategically about how to
best use limited human resources to take
maximum advantage of rapidly growing,
complex and diverse markets.
For UBS Asset Management APAC, technology
is key to unlocking long-term potential across
the region while navigating the headwinds
from China’s economic challenges, the strong
US dollar and rate-inspired volatility.
Khashayar Surti, APAC Head of Trading,
manages passive and active strategies
across multiple credit and rates markets of
varying complexity. Efficiency is very much
at the top of his mind, and he has turned to
MarketAxess, the world’s leading electronic
credit trading platform, for solutions to trade
hard and local currency bonds.
