Tucker co-authored the research with Stephen Laipply, Director at BlackRock. Both are in the Fixed-Income Portfolio Management Group.This Practical Applications report outlines their empirical analysis in Bond Market Price Discovery: Clarity Through the Lens of an Exchange , which appeared in the Fall 2013 issue of The Journal of Portfolio Management . The research covers ETF bond indices in the investment-grade, municipal, high-yield and Treasury markets, with comparative implications among the different sectors and during different market periods.The authors describe when differences between price discovery in over-the-counter bonds and fixed-income ETFs are most acute and outline a simple trading strategy to take advantage of mispricing.
