Ian Packer

FX Trader UBS Asset Management

Buy Side Day | 15th September

10:50 AM Buy-Side Desks - Ask Me Anything: Buy-Side Desk Pressures: What keeps the Buy-Side awake at night, and what needs to change?

Despite advances in automation and connectivity, several structural issues continue to dominate buy-side FX workflows. This buy-side- only session brings senior FX desk leads together to discuss the challenges that most consistently surface: accessing genuinely differentiated liquidity, navigating credit and counterparty constraints that shape venue choice, and managing fragmented workflows across pricing, data and execution tools.

The session will open with panelists outlining their most pressing desk pain points, before shifting to an “Ask Me Anything” format led by questions from the room. The discussion is designed to be practical, candid and grounded in real operating experience- focusing on what truly limits efficiency and where change would have the biggest impact.
