are considering hedging, or is it even
necessary in the current market?

Fixed income ETFs have witnessed
unprecedented growth in recent years,
spearheading the rise of the overall ETF
market. Hayley McDowell asks why the
product is so attractive to investors and
what the future holds for the asset class.
The TRADE examines how those
exchanges in East Asia that have not
yet made the move to T+2 are preparing

and if the differing approaches signals
a shift in regional dynamics.
