Conference Report: The Market Data Cloud - Build or Buy?
Market data clouds are on the horizon for the industry and as they come to fruition, firms will face a tough choice between building their own clouds or outsourcing them, according to panelists who took part in A-Team Group’s Insight Exchange conference on High Performance Technologies for Trading and Risk this week in New York.
Conference Report: Low-Latency Benefits, ROI Still Elusive
Securities firms have to learn how to better exploit their low-latency architectures so that all groups in a trading enterprise can see the business value of their costly high-performance infrastructures, said participants in a panel discussion at A-Team Group’s Insight Exchange conference on High Performance Technologies for Trading and Risk, this week in New York.
Investec’s Gatfield, HSBC’s Hamilton and RBS’ Gibbons Agree on the Benefits of a Centralised Data Management Hub
A unified back office system with a centralised data management hub allows for the obvious benefits of global consistency of data, a reduction in operational costs (apart from the initial outlay) and the ability to meet risk management requirements, agreed panellists at SunGard’s City Day in London last week. Trevor Gatfield, head of securities operations at Investec, explained to attendees that his own firm operates with one trading system and one back office, which allows it high levels of STP, efficiency and the ability to deal with exceptions quickly. Fellow panellists from rather larger organisations Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and HSBC noted that even though they have not reached this level of integration, they are working towards a single view of data across their organisations.

Conference Report: Fragmentation Increasing; Best Execution Lagging
Low latency technologies have taken hold among the fragmented markets in Europe, resulting in narrower spreads and more liquidity opportunities. But fragmentation has still left primary exchanges in several regions in a dominant position, and best execution is still a work in progress, according to participants in a keynote “Fragmentation World Tour” panel at the A-Team Group’s Insight Exchange conference on High Performance Technologies for Trading and Risk, this week in New York.
Data Transparency is Key to Risk Exposure Assessment for the Derivatives Market, Agree BNP Paribas’ Ruault and Newedge’s Colette
Data management solutions are receiving buy in from top level management because of the requirement to assess risk exposures in real-time and react to business opportunities and challenges, said Philippe Ruault, head of clearing, settlement and custody products at BNP Paribas, at last week’s SunGard City Day in London. Risk management has become much more of a competitive differentiator in the post-crisis world and a shared data infrastructure has become a pre-requisite to the performance of complex real-time risk calculations, agreed Frederic Colette, head of operations at Newedge Group.
