In a webinar, a panel of experts explore the SEF model as it stands to give insight into how market participants can prepare to connect, trade, and process workflow in this new electronic execution environment for OTC derivatives contracts.
New OTC derivatives regulation under the Dodd-Frank Act requires some OTC derivatives contracts to be executed via soon-to-be-established swap execution facilities (SEFs) to provide greater transparency into this currently opaque market. The model for the new SEFs has yet to be firmly established however, market participants need to start preparing their trade workflow to connect, trade and process trades these new electronic trading facilities.
In a webinar, a panel of experts will review how SEFs will likely operate and explore how market participants will need to adjust their trade workflow and business models to trade OTC derivatives via these new execution facilities.
The panel will review some of the following topics:
- How will a SEF operate? What is the asset class coverage? Will voice brokerage functionality be a part of a SEF platform?
- How will firms connect to SEFs? Is the Super-SEF concept a good one?
- What will differentiate SEFs?
- How will firms manage the jurisdictional challenges of trading via SEFs? What is Europe doing with OTFs?
- How will firms manage the trade workflow to trade via SEFs?
- How will firms need to adapt post-trade processes such as reporting, and settlement and accounting to support trading via SEFs?
- How will this SEF space develop and what are the concerns and challenges both SEFs and the market participants face in evolving processes and business models to support the evolution?
