THE CONFERENCE AGENDA WILL DISCUSS ALL KEY TRADING ISSUES AND CHALLENGES FACING THE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS IN EUROPE

Our meticulous research with over 200 heads of trading and execution services at long only asset management firms, hedge funds, investment banks, exchanges and technology solutions providers has revealed the following as key priorities for the agenda:

• Market Fragmentation/MTF Wars– how is the buy side affected by it? What is the benefit of market fragmentation to buy side? Who can help buy side navigate through the scene? What is the US experience of fragmentation/consolidation?
• Market Data– best strategies for dealing with poor unconsolidated market data. Regulation on consolidated tape. Paying for market data. Pre and post trade market data. The future of market data in Europe.
• Regulation– Has MIFID worked? What has worked? Has MIFID benefited the actual end client? What do buy side think of MIFID? How would sell side like to change it? What are the hedge fund regulatory plans? Banker’s pay regulation.
• Macro Economic Issues– the post mortum of how the crisis has affected the trading community and the markets. Quantitative easing – has it worked? Which part of the cycle are we in? What is the future and how is it likely to affect the market flow?
