How are the leading buy side heads of fixed income trading navigating the biggest trends and challenges in 2025?

To answer this question and many more, FILS USA surveyed 100 industry leaders across North America, including Heads of Trading and Portfolio Managers, to find out how they are responding to global events, adapting their strategies to adhere to regulations, and the role AI solutions are playing as strategies continue to evolve.

The survey was conducted by appointment over the telephone. the results were compiled and anonymised by FILS USA and are presented here with analysis and commentary by the FILS USA community. The topics in the report will be discussed at our event in June. Visit the event website.
