0813 GMT - Portfolio trading in the European corporate bond market is growing very quickly, Barclays Research's Zornitsa Todorova and Andrea Diaz Lafuente say in a note. Barclays' new database shows a new portfolio trade every 20 minutes and volumes reaching 250 billion euros in 2024, up 74% from 2023, the strategists say. Portfolio trading has firmly established itself in the euro-denominated investment grade market, capturing an 11% market share, they say. The typical portfolio trade is executed through an electronic platform, and involves around 60 bonds and a total of 40 million euro notional, they say. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
