About The Post Trade Forum
Global Securities Markets have many different
committees, all set up to try and bring efficiencies in post trade operations. There is a strong concentration of effort on
electronic message standards and the numerous issues around data and communication standards. With the reduction of risks
and costs always being a prime objective in any of these initiatives and of course regulatory compliance. Many committees are run from vertical industry standpoints. For example Equity focused
initiatives only sometimes overlap with broadly similar initiatives in Fixed Income or Derivatives. This reflects the vertical
nature of firm's operational structures and systems. There are also
many trade groups that work diligently to support their member's interests in either the retail or wholesale markets.
However, there is a lack of unity of interests, across the securities industry with an inability to share knowledge and information
to form debates to bring about conformity of understanding.
B.I.S.S. Research and Finextra have collaborated to produce a series of
Post Trade Forums, where issues can be aired
and debated. Following each event a report will be issued, which will feature a write up of the debate, together with the
analyst's opinions and conclusions. This will only be made available to attendees of the event together with Members of
the PTF Group on LinkedIn.
Join The Post Trade Forum Group on Linked In
To facilitate further debate, a Post Trade Forum group has been
set up on LinkedIn this will be linked to various other social networking and blogging sites. These blogging and networking
sites will be used to disseminate information around the globe. Membership of The Post Trade Forum Group on linked in is encouraged, but is only open to people
holding senior management positions within regulated Financial Services firms. To join the LinkedIn
group and request prior approval email: gary.wright@bissresearch.com

markets issues with industry thought leaders and reach out to a focused and qualified audience.
