Bond flow measure
Australia will be included in a new survey initiated by State Street Corporation to measure the purchases and sales of domestic sovereign bonds by institutional investors.
The survey, the (SBFI), was launched by State Street this week, with State Street executive vice president saying that, until now, investors in sovereign bonds had to rely on official surveys for information, which have a one or two month time lag.
He said that for the first time, State Street clients would be able to access investment flows of sovereign bonds in a timely and accurate way.
“With these measures available daily, with only a two-day publication lag, this research provides unique insight into bond market investor behaviour across the yield curve,” Shelton said. “The SBFI employs net flows at each monthly point along the yield curve as its unit of analysis to most accurately represent the net demand for securities at different maturities.”
