This 11th annual clearing and settlement conference will focus on the volatile nature of today’s trading environment and the d This 11th annual clearing and settlement conference will focus on the volatile nature of today’s trading environment and the development of regulatory initiatives that has led to a distinct evolution in the strategic vision of infrastructure providers. Although the Code of Conduct and MiFID are effective, the CESAME Group is monitoring their implementation phase and Target2-Securities is within sight, it appears that the market interpretation is actually leading to a more fragmented landscape. With alternative trading venues and post-trade facilities now available to users this has been further exacerbated, and the decision of how to decide where to trade and settle has never been more important. The OTC market has not progressed in terms of achieving operational efficiency and there is a real need to be able to benchmark and incorporate operational risk into the concept of effectiveness. Added to the risks associated with the credit/liquidity crisis and effective collateral management and cross border interoperability risk contagion, there is a genuine requirement for a strategic forum in which solutions and market developments can be openly discussed. Key speakers from across the value chain will convene to provide a practical insight into the unknown factors; necessary in calibrating specific business models.
