MiFID’s Impact on Real-time Transparency: MiFID has had a substantial impact on the market data industry -- perhaps nowhere greater than in the expanded number of entities providing execution services and trading data. With the increasing number of trading venues and fragmented sources of pricing information have come an increasing number of questions and decisions for firms. Our panel will discuss the current landscape for trading - including variables like depth of market, transaction fees, speed of execution, and anonymity that determine the execution venue - and its impact on data collection and usage. We’ll also examine the prospects for further changes to MiFID as European regulators and policy makers survey the post-MiFID world.
Moderator: Andrew Delaney, Editor, A-Team Group
Panelists:
Andrew Allwright, Business Manager MiFID Solutions; Thomson Reuters
Robert Cumberbatch, European Business Lines Director, Interactive Data
Eleanor Jenkins, Vice President, Morgan Stanley
Richard Newbury, Market Development Manager, SIX Telekurs Ltd.
Low Latency: The Race Continues: Over the past several years, we have seen increasing amounts of pricing information delivered at ever faster speeds, and there are no signs of the pace slacking in the foreseeable future. High frequency trading and an increase in the use of algorithmic trading have placed an even greater premium on firms getting information before their competitors. However, this particular dimension of market data is often treated in a different and in many cases a separate manner within consumer firms; it is also serviced by a different set of technology vendors. Our panel of experts will review where the issue of low latency is going, covering such areas as new technologies, co-location, and proximity hosting, but the panel will also explore how or why a distinction exists between this part of market data and the more traditional areas. If such a divide exists what are its implications? Is any such gap broadening or narrowing? For those on either side of the divide this panel discussion should prove to be both educational and thought provoking.
