financial services - Trading and technology
Trading services are developing rapidly and against a financial and economic background that is unprecedented. In today’s climate, we have a genuine understanding of the dynamic of the market, what is driving change and the value chain, including:
- the range of market participants:
- banks, hedge funds and other broker/dealers and intermediaries on the sell side
- asset manager and other institutions on the buy side
- exchanges, platform and index providers and
- technology providers;
- how technology is driving:
- ever lower latency
- black box (automatic algorithmic) trading and
- direct market access;
- how regulation is a second key driver of change through:
- MiFID’s EU-wide ‘best execution’ and platform liberalisation rules and
- current/anticipated regulatory response to the financial crisis;
|
 |
- and the impact place for market participants of these technology and regulatory changes in an increasingly global market at each level of the value chain:
- issuing equities, bonds and other securities and creating other contracts, financial instruments and derivatives of them
- trading services – exchange (on and off book), MTF platform, OTC and internalised trading
- clearing, settlement, custodian and other post-trade services and
- market data and supporting IT and network services
