Buy-side Perspectives Issue 14 Special edition | Page 5

Thank you for supporting us for 10 years! Anita Karppi, Managing Director of K&K Global Consulting Wow! Time flies! We are extremely grateful to be here on our 10 th year and we could not be celebrating this achievement if it wasn’t for your ongoing support for our services. It is more important than ever for industry participants to meet and discuss how we should shape and move the industry forward. In an age of digitalisation where each professional is expected to produce more within shorter timeframes, it becomes increasingly harder to disseminate what is useful among the mass inflow of digital information. Face to face discussions like the Alpha Trader Forum (ATF) are proven to be the most effective medium for a more multifaceted interchange of ideas and a continuous discussion to resolve trading desk challenges. Global Summit 2019 In this jam packed 7 th Annual Alpha Trader Forum (ATF) Global Summit edition, don’t miss an exclusive interview on page 6 with Ravi Sawhney, Global Head of Trade Automation (OTC), Bloomberg LP – “Bloomberg puts the buy-side in control with automation”, our article on the FX Global Code (page 34) as well as our interview with EFAMA on their perspective of buy side need-to-know regulations (page 42). We also have some great exclusive buy side profile interviews from Schroders (page 26), Royal London Asset Management (page 38), Liontrust (page 30) and Comgest (page 50) plus we speak exclusively to Matthew Cousens who recently joined Barclays as Head of Equity Sales, EMEA (page 44). We hope you enjoy the Global Summit and we look forward to your feedback and hope to see you at our regional events later this year. www.buysideintel.com 7 l a annu th BTC BUY-SIDE TRADING COMMUNITY K&K GLOBAL CONSULTING Business intelligence for the Buy side 5
