Platform Evaluation Day

Buy Side Only Platform Evaluation Day

September 13th 2016, Victoria Park Plaza

The landscape of foreign exchange trading is changing. Capital constraints and reduced dealer balance sheets are restricting the sell side’s ability to provide liquidity. On top of this, technology, innovation and regulation have opened up the door to a number of new entrants to help fill this void. The boom in new eTrading platforms is now in full swing, and this has inadvertently given the buy side the task of navigating this pool of new initiatives to establish who is best to meet your liquidity needs.

This highly interactive half day workshop has been specifically created to give you an unbeatable, time-saving opportunity to meet and compare the leading new FX platforms in one afternoon of networking alongside your buy side peers. During this afternoon session you will have the chance to establish:

WHO is best suited to help you:

  • Source liquidity?
  • Reduce trading costs?
  • Identify the best opportunities to trade?

Key benefits of attending:

  • Walk away with a clear idea of the best platforms available for your firm to source liquidity
  • Gain a complete picture of how these key platform providers differentiate themselves to decide on the best partner for your business
  • Hear exclusively from other buy side leaders on their wish-list for partnering with new platforms and collaboratively tackle common practical challenges
  • Network with and walk away with the most valuable contacts as we bring you the most sought after platforms

  • Do not miss this unique opportunity to gain the know-how and make the connections you need to make the best platform choice to meet your trading needs.

How the day will run:

This topical pre-conference interactive day starts over lunch, giving you the chance to grab a bite and work the room, mixing with buy side leaders and leading platform providers.

To set the tone and get you thinking, we have created a buy side only panel of leading experts to give you a sense of what they make of the current platform landscape and short list key areas you should be testing and looking out for when evaluating the platforms. Each of the leading platforms will then give a 5 minute presentation on the benefits of their offering and why you should be working with them.

Following this, you will be split into groups consisting of 6-8 buy side, to join the different roundtable discussions which will each be led by the unique platform providers. You will then have the chance to pose questions, voice concerns, and discuss your views with your buy side peers.

Before the day closes, join us to hear from the same buy side only expert panel who will summarise the day’s findings and take part in our live vote to find out which platforms came out on top and why.
