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.

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

Next Post Trade Forum - 25 Sept: Is
Identity Management the answer for meeting operational, legal
and regulatory needs? Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) and Counterparty Risk have been brought
to the forefront for financial markets, whether in payments, securities or to comply with legal obligations for anti-money
laundering or fraud detection. The creation of a global legal identifier has long been seen as a primary tool to protect and
detect. The introduction of LEIs in the USA for OTC regulatory reporting is beginning to reveal the full scope of the benefits
that implementation of LEIs can bring. It's now becoming clear that LEI is far more rounded and important to the needs
of financial services.
The financial stability board (FSB) published its report in June,
outlining the proposed structure to accelerate the implementation of LEIs across all financial markets and products. The design
of the LEI code has already been agreed and timescales for implementation aggressive, with end 2012 muted, but it certain
2013 will see most development. It's not a new issue for the industry but what has changed
is the impetus given to introducing LEI by regulators looking to build a comprehensive reporting capability. Regulatory reporting
is a cost burden for financial services firms and LEIs will be very welcome in reducing costs after the initial development
at least. However, LEI benefits go way beyond reporting and the business benefits could be extremely high; for example the
potential of industry wide STP bringing together the retail investing community with the wholesale markets. Operational risk
reductions and the capability of closing operational loopholes in money laundering and financial fraud are other areas and
these benefits will span into payments and even insurance. The full range of businesses that can gain from LEIs is long ranging
from corporates, through to the treasury and payments world, to securities and capital market products. The Post Trade Forum has created a debate with leading players involved in the establishment of LEIs, which will
flush out all the strengths and weaknesses of the new standard, culminating in a clear business case for early adoption without
regulatory enforcement. This is a debate that you cannot afford to miss that for the first time details the overall benefits
of LEI and how it will change the financial markets ability to serve and protect.
26 June 2012 Post Trade Forum Debate:Is T2S beneficial
to the market and investors? European market structures have
been changing continuously for over a decade. Some changes have been forced by economic considerations, some through opportunity
and many because of political and regulatory enforcements. We are left with a complex and still changing market structure
which is an on-going cost burden for financial services firms and investors.T2S is a major ECB project which is central to
reforming post trade operations in participating countries, but what will be the benefits to brokers and their clients/investors?
What will be the costs and are there new risks that will be created as some old ones disappear? What system and process changes
will be required and will a cost benefit analysis convince the board for budget allocation? What is the end game and how soon
will markets stabilise into a structure that services the needs of corporates and investors and achieves the objectives of
cost and risk reduction?

14 April 2012 Post Trade Forum Debate: Operational Risks: Are Clearing Houses increasing risk? The myriad of Clearing Houses and CSDs in Europe have caused fragmentation of collateral
with OTC entering the picture, increasing the value within clearing operations, there is growing concern that a Clearing House
could fail. If Clearing House consolidation gathers pace will there be a greater concentration
of risk directly leading to an increased risk of huge numbers financial services firms being impacted and failing? How should firms respond to the potential calamity of Clearing House failure? Are there actions they should be taking now to minimise operational risks in the Post Trade areas?
