Buy-side Perspectives Issue 15 | Page 8

Thank you to the European Commission, AMF France, UK FCA, EFAMA and Dr. Kay Swinburne for supporting the buy-side! As we already communicated in issue 14 of the Buy-side Perspectives, the highly anticipated sessions at the 7 th annual ATF Global Summit included the updates from the regulators and EFAMA. K&K Global Consulting would like to thank all the representatives who came along to share their expertise with us at the two-day event covering regulatory challenges across equities, fixed income and foreign exchange. We hope you did not miss this opportunity to hear the opinions directly from these regulatory experts as these closed-door sessions were under strict Chatham House rules so we cannot elaborate upon any details in this publication. What we can re-iterate is some of the publicly available agenda points: • A regulators perspective on the MiFID II SI tick size regime, broker preferencing in periodic auctions, double volume caps. • The regulators perspective on the MiFID II fixed income liquidity definitions and transparency regime. • The expectations of the ESMA instrument reference and trading data one-stop shop solution. • Need-to-know changing goal posts in the FCA Handbook and MiFID II/III. • With less than 2 months to Brexit – are there any adjustments expected in how the buy side will trade equities on both sides of the English Channel? Calibrations to ESMA’s rules and the FCA’s new position. • The IBOR Global Benchmark Transition. 7 th Annual Alpha Trader Forum Global Summit 2019 Vincent Dessard Kay Swinburne Sébastien Bagot Philippe Guillot Stephen Hanks Agathi Pafili Senior Regulatory Policy Advisor, EFAMA MEP and Vice-Chair of the European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee Policy Officer, European Commission Director of Markets, AMF France Manager, FCA UK Senior Regulatory Policy Advisor, EFAMA 6 th & 7 th February 2019 - London 8 www.buysideintel.com Spring 2019
