n recognition of the Leaders in Trading 2019 awards
ceremony, The TRADE was invited to participate in
the first closing auction ceremony at the London Stock
Exchange on 14 November.
For the first time, the closing auction was conducted by a
party external to the exchange, watched by guests including
several buy-side award nominees for this year’s Leaders in
Trading.
“This is the first time ever we have done this particular
event and we thought we couldn’t have a better gathering
than to have the thought leaders amongst the buy-side
community and to celebrate The TRADE, as the great record
of reference for our industry, to celebrate this milestone,” said
Robert Barnes, global head of primary markets at London
Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and CEO of Turquoise.
“To be invited to take part in what is an inaugural event
at an institution with such an extensive and storied history
as the London Stock Exchange is truly an honour and a
testament to the hard work that our team puts into making
The TRADE the leading publication for the buy-side,”
commented John Brazier, editor of The TRADE.
