The Hive Mind Guide to:
AI in Fixed Income Trading

In partnership with:

Drawing together some of the most cutting-edge insights from The Hive community, with a sprinkle of benchmarking and a healthy dose of practical tips.

AI has become one of the most significant forces shaping trading workflows today. For Fixed Income desks, the challenge is no longer whether AI has potential, it is how to integrate it in ways that deliver measurable impact without disrupting workflows.

Produced in partnership with LTX, our Fixed Income AI Hive Mind guide explores how:

  • Only a small minority of firms are currently testing AI-driven adaptive routing, but over 70% identify AI as a ‘Top 3’ area of interest for future investment
  • Efficiency and cost reduction remain the top cited goals for AI adoption
  • Desks are increasingly measuring success in terms of expanded liquidity access and improved execution quality
  • The build vs. buy debate is acute in Fixed Income. With budgets under strain, desks want to see tangible efficiency or liquidity gains before committing

Difficulty accessing data means AI adoption requires more than just technology. It is not a quick fix, and it requires a clear strategy, ongoing investment, and cross-functional buy-in to deliver results. Despite ongoing challenges, the path to AI adoption in Fixed Income is seen as incremental.
