2 The causes of bond market liquidity a survey of market traders Market liquidity is a term whose definition is increasingly accepted as the ability to trade in size promptly at the indicated market price without significantly changing that price for long. But even with this clear definition, there is no metric established for measuring the liquidity of a market or of individual financial instruments at a given time, nor any clear understanding why that market is or is not liquid then. Rather, we tend to know when markets are liquid or not, rather than understand why that is, or be able to measure the degree of liquidity. One of the reasons for our lack of knowledge on a subject that can be of vital importance to markets is that although most participants realise that the subject is very complex, most studies have for practical reasons reduced that complexity to an oversimplification. So that, for example, the measure of a market s liquidity is mirrored by its turnover; or an instrument s liquidity is measured by its bid-to-offer spread. Aside from their occasionally dubious validity, these over simplifications are of little actual use in practice, whether to market participants or to regulators. That is why we decided that a new approach was needed; and our new approach was to talk to those most closely involved in an actual trade, in other words the traders more specifically bond traders. We believe that those most intimately involved with making or demanding prices are best placed to throw light upon the process of price construction and the factors that contribute to liquidity. By elucidating the factors involved in evaluating liquidity within price discovery and asking what role these factors might play, we should throw light on the nature of liquidity and what affects it. Furthermore we believe that the weights of factors affecting liquidity are likely to change with market conditions and also evolve over time: the value of such a survey would increase over time as trends develop and weights change. Chris Golden is Chairman of EFFAS-EBC, an association of professional bond analysts. He has worked in numerous trading rooms, including those of Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and Nomura, as trader, salesman and head of research, as well as an independent consultant to a number of banks, government agencies and fund managers, including UBS, the European Investment Bank, Agence France Trésor and Flemings.

3 We designed a survey which highlighted some 47 different factors that might influence the liquidity of an instrument in the bond market, along with numerous sub factors (so that Size of Issue is a factor, which has a number of subsidiary factors in terms of a range of sizes, from <=300 million all the way to >10 billion). The survey takes between 30 and 40 minutes, and in a pilot study we surveyed some 15 dealers from both the buy and the sell side, in London, Paris and Luxembourg. This generally involved face-to-face interviews. We expect that our next study, which is currently underway, will have about 50 respondents in a wider area of Europe, including Switzerland. Further surveys will take place at least once a year, and over time the survey should grow in number of respondents, frequency and geographical scope. The sample in this pilot study was small so that we should be careful about the results. But some of these results were clearly important: dealers from both sides considered that the ability both to short bonds and to use derivatives markets, including CDS, were crucially important factors of liquidity, respectively ranking 3rd and 5th overall out of 47 possible factors. Sell side dealers considered the ability to borrow and lend stock through the repo market to be amongst the key factors determining liquidity. There were also important implications for retailtargeted issues: a predominantly retail investor base in an issue was generally regarded as reducing its liquidity. Further surprises included the fact that issue size was ranked 15 th out of 47 factors, and issue age (time since issuance or last tap) ranked 30 th. Both of these are commonly believed to be crucial to liquidity, but apparently not. And regulators may be interested to note that neither buy-side nor sell-side considered post-trade transparency to be particularly important for liquidity: they ranked that factor 40th. It was less of a surprise to find that respondents ranked the fact that an issue is public right at the top of the list overall. However in the subsidiary question the liquidity gap between public and private issues (including MTNs etc) was dramatically emphasised: the fact that an issue is public was ranked as the second highest positive contributor to the liquidity of that issue (after comparable benchmarks in the same currency), whereas the fact that an issue is private had the most negative contribution to its liquidity of any of the sub factors examined.
