Cross Asset Derivatives
Building on the power from the buy-side community
Kristian Karppi, MD, K&K Global Consulting
It was great to host our second Alpha Trader Forum Cross
Asset Derivatives meeting in London on 22 nd May. Thank you
to all those who participated and contributed.
Leveraging the benchmark research tools K&KGC built over
the last 10 years, we could quickly set the scene for the role
of the buy-side trader in the investment process as well as
which technologies and brokers the buy side are using and
evaluating. The buy side had the opportunity to discuss
various critical challenges between themselves as well as
with our sponsor, Tradeweb.
Better technology and electronification of derivatives
trading are on the forefront of the derivatives trader’s
BUY-SIDE FEEDBACK:
mind as well as the processes and tools to evidence best
execution.
With an increasing number of product types, currencies and
new markets that would need to be traded electronically,
there is a need for a higher level of industry standardisation.
The buy side would have expected to see Futures TCA
solutions by now, as it would be an easy fix however this is
still not available.
The IBOR transition and EU regulation with new margin and
reporting requirements will remain on the agenda for the
foreseeable future.
Based on the request from our German buy-side
community, we will host our first FX and cross asset
derivatives debates, in parallel with fixed income, in
Frankfurt in November.
BUY-SIDE FEEDBACK:
Looking forward to seeing you at our next ATF
Cross Asset Derivatives debate in London in
October or Frankfurt in November!
