The TRADE & Refinitiv present:
The Future of
Buy-Side Trading
O
n 7 November, The TRADE partnered with
Refinitiv to host The Future of Buy-Side
Trading, an exclusive invitation-only event
at Morton Society, London. Over 100 delegates
joined us for an hour-long panel discussion featuring
representatives from Refinitiv, MAN GLG, Barclays
and AlphaDesk, followed by a cocktail reception.
The panel debated topics including the role of the
trader and the evolution of the required skillset,
relationships between the trading desk and their sell-
side counterparts and technology providers, why it’s
more important for buy-side firms to have actionable
insight from data than flashy new technology systems,
and the crucial importance of the right composition of
the trading team.
