      • Trading Viewpoints: Tick Tock, How to Trade the Clock

        24 February 2025   |  

        Our embedded traders work alongside portfolio managers and analysts to constantly assess market structures, liquidity and execution. These functions seek to help enable operational alpha by reducing risks, minimizing transaction costs and taking advantage of price differentials.

        Transaction costs in foreign exchange can be a significant drag on emerging markets debt portfolios if not carefully managed. As a result, foreign exchange trade execution strategy becomes a vital component of such portfolios. One key decision in minimizing transaction costs is determining the optimal time of day for execution.
