A large proportion of the discussions concerned the buy
side’s relationship with the sell side as well as their internal
efforts to improve their performance analysis and how they
could enhance interaction with the investment team.
The EU and UK regulatory changes are still impending
political changes. Gauging the continental European
buy-side’s anticipations post the European parliamentary
elections, we are still waiting to hear if anyone believes the
Capital Markets Union (CMU) will become successful in
turning the declining trend of EU banks competitiveness
vs. the rest of the world. The lion share of the buy side’s
preferred broker list is currently represented by US
originated firms.
The buy side also addressed their dissatisfaction about the
long market hours in London with a closing time of 5:30pm.
With market information starting to come in at 7am ahead
of the market opening, it means that some traders have to
work from 6:30am until after the market closes at 5:30pm.
