As the German trading environment continues to evolve, market participants are presented with multiple new opportunities and emerging challenges. Interest in using FIX is on the rise as increasing numbers of local investors and brokers are recognising the many benefits that further use of the standard could present, including greater efficiencies and cost savings. Join FPL in Frankfurt on November 15th as we explore the vital issues, challenges and opportunities impacting local firms.
Building on FPL’s 2011 inaugural Frankfurt briefing, this year’s event has been extended to a full day in response to industry demand. The 2012 event will present even more educational, debate-focussed sessions for an expanded audience of 200+ senior German market participants. At this event business and technical topics will be explored over separate streams by 25+ expert industry speakers, tackling the issues that matter to your trading desk.
The agenda has been developed by senior German market participants who truly understand the needs of the local trading community, and will address questions including:
• How is Germany’s financial sector supporting economic growth?
• What impact are key changes in the German OTC derivatives markets having on business processes?
• How are buy-side market participants managing fragmentation?
• Regulatory and technological change is resulting in a structural shift in the fixed income markets - what implications and opportunities does this present to bond market participants?
• How is changing regulation impacting market infrastructure and trading in Europe?
• How has increased adoption of the FIX Protocol aided market progression over the past 12 months?
• How can the FIX Repository support your firm as it seeks to implement the protocol?
• What insight can firms draw from the upcoming Foresight Report into ‘The Future of Computer Trading in Financial Markets’?
