Buy-side Perspectives Issue 12 Updated | Page 24

K&KGC delivered key post-MiFID II launch feedback from the European buy- side community to the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) With all the previous concerns around the unintended consequences of MiFID II, K&KGC were delighted to assist our buy-side community with presenting their initial findings and concerns directly to EFAMA in Brussels on Tuesday 20 th February. K&KGC presented the key equities and fixed income buy-side trading takeaways from the recent 6 th annual Alpha Trader Forum (ATF) Global Summit that took place on 6 th & 7 th February 2018. The ATF Global Summit was the first buy-side meeting post MiFID II and was attended by 120 heads of trading and senior traders across Equities, Fixed Income and Foreign Exchange. Kristian Karppi, Managing Director at K&KGC said “Considering the many years of great efforts EFAMA and its national member organisations in each country provided the buy-side community in the run up to MiFID II, it made sense for us to share our unique insight in the best interest of the buy- side community to support the future work of EFAMA and its members”. 24 www.buysideintel.com Spring 2018
