This House Believes The MiFID Review To Be The Tip Of The Trading Iceberg
Seminar
Background:
This house believes the MiFID review to be the tip of the trading iceberg
A debate about the priority changes to the trading environment
13 July, 18:00, London EC2
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive began life as the first step towards making the EU the most competitive economy in the world via equity trading.
Post crisis, the MiFID review has become central to the regulators’ attempts to steer a path through sharp and dangerous discussions about dark pools, audit trails, high frequency/co-location standards, trade repositories and multi asset class transparency. With MiFID’s new reform siblings (e.g., AIFM, EMIL, SLD, T2S, CRA,) and regulators active in the US and Asia moving in tandem, the waters are choppy and deep.
This will be the year that Europe works out how it wants all markets to function, be controlled and how the boxes and wires connect ... or will it? At this debate we will discuss:
- How significant are the MiFID changes under discussion – will they change the market?
- Will MiFID set the global trading standards? Does this imply more fragmentation?
- Which of the global initiatives will impact what it takes to ‘do the trade right’ the most?
- Are we standard enough? What standards are likely to change?
- Are the priorities for the trading infrastructure in 2011 smaller, more or faster?
Come and join the discussion with an expert panel comprising of:
- Dr. Robert Barnes, CEO, UBS MTF
- Nick Miller, Government Relations, EMEA, Morgan Stanley
- Chris Simms, Head of Investment Operations, Gartmore
- Jonathan Herbst, Partner, Financial Services Group, Asset Management - Banking - Markets – Regulation, Norton Rose LLP
You will have the chance to debate the house view under the Chatham House Rule.
The panel will be chaired by Capital Markets Chamber leader, PJ Di Giammarino, CEO of the regulatory think-tank, JWG.
The session will be followed by drinks, canapés and networking.
