The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is conducting a pilot survey of market participants (pilot). The pilot will be similar to the current Survey of Primary Dealers (SPD) but will aim to better understand the expectations of market participants beyond the New York Fed’s primary dealer counterparties, specifically those of active investment decision makers. As such, participants in the pilot will be comprised of members of the following New York Fed advisory and sponsored groups:
- Investor Advisory Committee on Financial Markets
- Foreign Exchange Committee
- Treasury Market Practices Group
- Buyside General Counsel Committee
Pilot surveys will consist of a subset of questions taken directly from the SPD and will be posted on the New York Fed website concurrent with the SPD, beginning this month.
The pilot is expected to run for one year. It will then be determined if the survey continues on a permanent basis.
Participation in the pilot is voluntary and participating firms are listed below. This list will be updated if the composition of participants changes.
