Main Day 1 | 14th October

9:20 AM The View on Liquidity Panel: Liquidity that Holds in Stress: How can you build durable liquidity frameworks that remain resilient across market cycles?

Liquidity has become more visible, but not necessarily more reliable. Fragmentation across dealers, venues and non-bank liquidity providers has improved access in normal markets, yet confidence in resilience during volatility remains uneven. Larger risk transfers, balance sheet constraints and transparency requirements continue to reshape how liquidity is provided and consumed.  

This panel will focus on how trading and investment teams are strengthening liquidity frameworks in practice. From counterparty evaluation and protocol governance to greater use of listed instruments and portfolio trading, panellists will share how firms are building consistency of execution while reducing implementation risk across the cycle.
