A Webinar March 7th 2013
In a DerivSource webinar, a panel will explore how new regulation is impacting the listed derivatives space and the challenges and opportunities this regulation presents to financial institutions and to their post-trade processes
A major by-product of the ongoing financial regulatory reform is an expected surge in volumes of exchange-traded derivatives (ETD) as asset managers, hedge funds and other institutions move away from OTC derivatives in favor of listed derivatives to boost profit margins and manage risk. Financial institutions must assess how new regulation will impact the listed derivatives market and establish a strategy and post-trade operation to support regulatory compliance, the demands of growing volumes and the emerging best practices.
In an interactive webinar, a panel of experts will review new regulation and how it will impact the ETD space, market volumes and post-trade processes. The panel will explore the strategies financial institutions are adopting to transform post-trade processes as needed to better manage new regulatory requirements and take advantage of new opportunities in this evolving market.
Topics covered include:
· What are the regulatory changes that will most impact ETD volumes and processes?
· How the ETD market evolving and where are the opportunities for financial institutions?
· How can firms adjust post-trade processes to support greater volumes and comply with new regulation?
· Is standardization and automation in post-trade processes key to supporting the new ETD market?
· What lessons learned could the market take from other markets such as the OTC or cash/equity markets?
· What are the newly emerging best practices for ETD business and middle and back office processing?
· What lies ahead for the ETD market and what should firms be aware of for both upcoming opportunities and challenges?
Audience members will be able to ask the panel questions during this 1-hour virtual event.
