Increasing volumes and the complexity of reference data in the post-crisis environment have left the middle office struggling to meet the requirements of the current market order. Middle office functions must therefore be robust enough to be able to deal with the spectre of globalisation, an increase in the use of esoteric security types and complex investment strategies, as well as rising transaction volumes. This has led many from the buy side and the sell side to consider outsourcing strategies for some of these functions, offshoring, in-house development or the acquisition of new vendor technology.

The global regulatory community has become increasingly aware of the data management challenge within financial institutions, as it struggles with its own challenge of better tracking systemic risk across financial markets. The US regulator in particular is seemingly keen to kick off a standardisation process and also wants the regulatory community to begin collecting additional data in order to better supervise systemically important financial institutions.
So, data is definitely on the regulatory radar and the Fed itself has been investing in its data infrastructure, including adding ex-Citi chief data officer (CDO) John Bottega to its ranks. If data collection and aggregation is required for regulatory reporting purposes then surely enterprise data management (EDM) is an obvious part of that endeavour?

The rise in the number of chief risk officers (CROs) across the industry has been a significant phenomenon in the post-crisis world, but given that a board level risk function is a relatively new position, how should successes be measured? A recent discussion in a CRO Linkedin forum indicates that proactive risk measurement and management is the new buzzword with regards to judging performance and technology should be an integral part of this approach.
Last week’s reference data conference in London threw up a few interesting ideas with regards to leading the charge for reference data standardisation in the market, not least of which was the creation of a new standards focused body. In addition to a senior level data representative on the board of every financial institution, speakers and attendees alike discussed the need for a figurehead to drive forward the data agenda for the industry as a whole.

Low latency connectivity has enjoyed a resurgence of interest as high-performance trading architectures become a reality. Early interest in the low-latency ‘vision’ may have been interrupted by the global financial crisis, but no matter: low latency is back, and providing the catalyst for the explosion in high frequency trading.
As liquidity continues to fragment – in the US and globally – electronic trading operations are demanding connectivity to a broader array of execution venues. As well as traditional exchanges, traders today need access to alternative trading systems, including electronic communications networks, dark pools and multilateral trading facilities (MTFs). Securing and maintaining a robust, high-performance connectivity solution is key to providing comprehensive market access.

From the invention of the electric telegraph to the emergence of the Internet, new technology has constantly stimulated our desire for information.
