A-Team Insight managing editor Virginie O’Shea speaks to Swift’s head of regulatory affairs for the securities markets Richard Young about the onslaught of regulation that the industry is facing and where the compliance challenges lie.

This webinar and white paper answers the question:
How much variance in evaluated pricing is acceptable?
Exchange-traded securities have the advantage of having a “price” reflecting the overall value investors place on future earnings, credit quality, management expertise and more. But more than half of all financial products today actually trade away from an exchange, including over-the-counter products and securities with no organized exchange for consummating day-to-day transactions. How do portfolio managers find reliable pricing information for those products? That’s where evaluated pricing comes into play.
There seems to be a recurring refrain within a whole host of recent regulatory papers, including the MiFID Review, UCITS IV, Basel III, Solvency II or any number of UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) papers: references to accuracy, consistency, timeliness, reliability and completeness of data are present in all of them.
A-Team Insight managing editor Virginie O’Shea speaks to Irving Henry, policy director for prudential, capital and risk at the British Bankers’ Association (BBA) and Colin Rickard, business development director for Europe at DataFlux, about the data quality aspects underlying these developments.
The topic of transparency is commonly cited among industry surveys related to evaluated pricing as being an elusive and difficult to define concept. This workshop and the accompanying white paper (download it below for free) offer a clear and practical definition of what transparency means to SIX Telekurs, as well as insights into the evaluated pricing process, the different types of prices, sources of inputs, influences on prices, the challenges faced in price calculations and more.
