About the session

The 20s have challenged financial institutions to reconsider their compliance operating model and the tools required for the job. Nowhere is the need for RegTech more acute than the fast-moving and complex web of trading regulations. PJ Di Giammarino, Founder and CEO of JWG, and first editor of RegTech will share his perspectives on what is in store for risk and compliance professionals at the trading coal face.

About the session

Market data and post trade transparency is up for debate. As the UK contemplates market reforms, ESMA has been asked to specify the ‘quality and the substance of core the market data and the quality of the transmission protocol’. Both are introducing new CTPs. COOs and compliance officers risk being unable to police bad data and holding the SM&CR bag. What trading capabilities are needed to comply in a more clearly defined marketplace?

About the session

Regulators want consumers to be served better. This means feedback loops between product governance, trading and distribution. Consumer preferences (e.g., risk, ESG), market transparency (Venues, CTP) and costs need to be codified and integrated into workflow across the value chain.  Compliance will have tough questions to answer for senior managers who are now personally accountable for the audit trail. What next generation trading RegTech tooling is required to satisfy the consumer and regulator?
