OTC Derivatives Clearing: Navigating the Regulatory Landscape

Emerging regulatory changes in Europe and the US are creating an OTC derivatives clearing landscape like never before.

Our study presents the hurdles to regulatory compliance and the business areas affected by these changes from a buyside, sellside and technology vendor perspective.

Best Execution: the State of Play

Best execution obligates dealers to act in their clients best interests pursuing persistent high quality across the trading process.

Our study shows that buyside firms, sellside firms and technology providers have fundamentally different responses and motivations in their pursuit of best execution from end price, through client trust, to business expansion.

MiFID II: Impact of the New European Regulations

The creation of Organised Trading Facilities and new reporting requirements will generate a considerable technology infrastructure investment.

Our study shows that MiFID II should not adopt a universal approach for addressing faults in market segments, but should be more product-specific in its method.

Trends in e-commerce and electronic trading

Buy-side firms are embracing electronic trading but the sell-side needs to adopt a much more holistic approach in order to win business.

Our study shows that e-commerce no longer just applies to the trading end of the spectrum but needs to be across the entire investment life cycle if banks want to maintain their edge.
