ESMA is responsible for enforcing and monitoring full compliance with regulation as it relates to post trade reporting, clearing and settlement of transactions in financial instruments, including the roles of ,financial market infrastructures and any other entities providing post-trading services. In particular, the Standing Committee is responsible for elaborating advice to the European Commission, and technical standards and guidelines and recommendations relating to the Regulation on OTC Derivatives, Central Counterparties and Trade Repositories.

 Every financial institution in Europe has been investing heavily in regulatory compliance. Given that most regulation is not prescriptive most of your peers and competitors are having to guess a lot of the outcomes of their regulatory strategies. Join this opening address to find out about the practical realities of regulation becoming law. Find out what criteria ESMA will be using to judge your regulatory compliance. Get the latest on non-compliance penalties and disciplinary actions. Ask questions and give your feedback to senior officials from ESMA. This talk will focus on:

Debates with vendors and experience benchmarking roundtables will follow on from case study presentations and analytical talks on vendor management and cost saving strategies.


Case Study: New ideas and strategies for securities pricing business modelsMost financial institutions suffer from inconsistent information regarding the security master file, counterparties, accounts and customers. The data is stored in multiple, disparate databases across the enterprise. This leads to duplication of data, reconciliation expenses, sluggish response and time-to-market, multiple data standards that need to be maintained, silos and redundancy within systems. Join this talk and case study presentation to find out how at Citi they deal with the challenges of:
  • Standardisation issues
  • Data reconciliation challenges
  • Creating automated systems and dynamic data governance rules
  • Data harmonisation strategies
  • Enabling effective decision-making on all levels with quality data across the enterprise

Regulation Focus

Case study presentations and discussions with the regulators will form the basis of this stream. Your peers from buy side and banks will be giving insight into how they cope with: Solvency II, Basel III, FATCA, AML, MIFIR, Dodd Frank Bill, MiFID, AIFMD,UCITS, Form PF, CSDR and many other regulatory initiatives which are costing your business money and directly impact your bottom line.


Overview of the current regulatory initiatives and their impact on your business

Data Architecture: Big Data - What Works & What Doesn’t?

Built specifically to address the practical and strategic issues facing data architects in financial institutions, this conference stream will attract top and medium level IT and architecture experts.

Networking workshops for up to 15 participants will follow on from case study presentations and panel discussions. Delegates will have a unique chance to not only learn from their peers in a formal conference environment, but to benchmark and exchange ideas in smaller more specialised groups.


Data lineage and the impact of architecture on the life of dataWith 25% annual enterprise data growth, your business is facing rapidly escalating challenges in making complicated, higher value decisions; the sources, transformations, and movements of enterprise data are very difficult to track. For you to remain competitive, you must do a better job of leveraging enterprise data as an asset, while complying with business standards and mandatory regulations.If effective data lineage is out of reach, there can be bigger penalties to pay. And the repercussions of doing nothing can ripple throughout an entire organization. Join this talk to hear how data architecture is helping Dave Poole to manage customers and data in the retail environment. Find out about:
  • Documenting workflow
  • Managing customer data
  • Managing customer enquiries
  • Strategies for data quality control

Risk Management: Strategy & Successful Models

This NEW conference stream is designed to examine risk management as part of overall data management strategy. Senior level risk managers will be giving case study presentations and joining panel debates focused on the role of data, its utility and its future as part of risk strategy. Most financial institutions view data as the one and only saviour from dangerous risk taking, disasters and catastrophes. It is no surprise that risk managers look to data and operations for structured quality information to base their decisions and future plans.

Case Study: Lloyds PPI story Over 140,000 customers did not receive their payments promptly.Hundreds of thousands of people have received redress after they were mis-sold PPI they did not want or need. PPI was designed to cover loan repayments if the policyholder fell ill, had an accident or became jobless. But the policies were mis-sold on a massive scale to those who did not want or need them, or who would have been unable to make a claim.Lloyds Banking Group, which encompasses the three banks, sent letters to 582,206 people between May 2011 and March 2012, informing these customers that they would be paid compensation. Needless to say there were major internal problems and this scandal led to an overhaul of the data and customer management strategy across the Lloyds group. Some of the problems mentioned in the press in connection with this scandal were:
  • Copy and paste errors, including one which led to customers being paid the wrong amount in compensation
  • Staff failing to process some payments, or processing the same batch twice
  • Cheques being "stored inappropriately" in offices.
Frank Hickman was personally involved in working thought Lloyds PPI crisis, managing the data strategy, changing processes and helping the bank deal with thousands of claims and misunderstandings. Join Frank to hear the details behind the Lloyds PPI.

Panel: Developing a “win-win” cost & data licensing model As the customer is getting more sophisticated in their use of data across enterprise, so will the data vendors. Most data managers have been charged with cutting costs by eliminating unused data feeds, expensive SLAs and unneeded data capacities. This means data vendors need to change their product offerings and SLAs. Join this panel to discuss how data vendors are adapting to the changing market conditions and what you can do to minimise data acquisition and licensing costs. Find out about:
  • Main challenges in data licencing – what is costing you most
  • Finding unnecessary spend

Your regulatory burden for 2014: reference data you must have in place to remain compliant with new regulationsRegulators (and regulations) require data that is complete, accurate and appropriate. Yet data management, at an industry level, is immature with few standards, minimal regulation over data content and a lack of industry leadership. This talk is designed to give you an overview of the scope, changes and requirements for different types of regulatory initiatives currently costing and impacting your business. They include: Dodd Frank and the LEI, CCPs: EMIR, Dodd Frank, FATCA, MiFID, II/MiFIR, AIFMD and UCITS IV/V Solvency II. Hear and ask questions about:
  • Overview of investment process
  • Overview of current state

Data architecture done right: sticks & carrots People who spend a lot of time thinking about Architecture tend to think that “Doing It Right” architecturally is plain common sense. But the vast majority of people involved in the analysis, design and implementation of change don’t spend a lot of time thinking about Architecture. As Head of Data Architecture, Colin works across M&IB to drive progress towards an agreed target state for how data is understood, sourced, stored and shared. He is responsible for creating, populating and leveraging the “Data KnowledgeBase” - a central repository of information about M&IB’s data. Find out from Colin how you can get “architectural common sense” to prevail?
  • What is Data Architecture, really?
  • What business value does a good Data Architecture offer?
  • What are the challenges to centralised enforcement of Architecture discipline?
  • Does the carrot offer more promise than the stick?

Panel Discussion: Is LEI genuinely worth implementing right now? Everyone agrees LEI is a good thing. Good for businesses, good for customers and good for the regulators. Ever since FIMA conference started 10 years ago the issue of standards and standardisation has been core to every data manager’s agenda. Banks and buy side have been pushing to adopt one legal entity identifier to get rid of huge inconsistencies, silos and lots of data processing work. LEIs are now on the regulator’s agenda and seem to be getting close to reality. But are they? Join this panel debate to find out if in practical terms you will see the success of LEIs across the financial community in the near future. Find out about:

Panel: Examining business benefits and challenges of implementing and running collaborative data strategiesFor too long small central teams often within IT functions (IT architecture, Logical Data Model Group, Data Dictionary Teams etc.) have tried to get a handle on the data problem. Not only do these functions lack the business language, context and engagement to be of value in the day to day, their artefacts are handcrafted with no way to integrate nor enrich one another.In the consumer world millions of people are freely and effectively contributing on wikipedias, web forums, open source projects etc. but in the corporate world we still content ourselves with writing word documents which we email back and forth.This panel is prepared for you to discover the benefits of open, collaborative and self-regulating data management. You will hear about:
  • collective understanding around data
  • leveraging modern web techniques getting every business function to contribute their knowledge around the data items they understand well.
  • Governance rules for collaborative data management
  • Business benefits and risks of such approaches

Regulation Focus

Join this conference stream if you are responsible or involved in developing a strategy for regulatory compliance within your business.

Delegates will have a unique chance to not only learn from their peers in a formal conference environment, but to benchmark and exchange ideas in smaller more specialised groups.


Panel: Debating benefits and pay back of using managed servicesThe investment in specialist hardware and software will be high. A managed service offers the highest quality enterprise and carrier grade solutions to customers. A fixed monthly payment plan means you know what you're going to get and how much it's going to cost over the contract. No unexpected upgrade charges or changes in charges, guaranteed. Managed IT Service Providers can be extremely flexible; a pay-as-you-go payment plan allows for quick growth when necessary, or cost savings when you need to consolidate. There are however drawbacks, risks and possibility of costs spiralling out of control. Join this panel debate to learn about the questions you should be asking your managed services provider. Find out how to:
  • Set a long term managed services strategy
  • Identify goals, benchmarks and ROI
  • Choose your service provider based on your needs and cost savings
  • Manage risk – how much control do you release from “in-house”?
  • Managing the relationship with your service providers
  • Using their expertise to solve your problems
  • Changing SLA’s and getting good value for money
  • Measuring results – costs vs performance

16:00 Afternoon Coffee & Networking
Network, benchmark and learn from your peers – use the roundtables to get answers to your questions!Heads of reference data and data architects don’t often get the chance to meet others in their field in small groups of 10-12 professionals all doing similar jobs on similar levels in financial institutions. This session is an opportunity for data managers to meet their peers during a round tables session.You may gain a technical resource, someone to bounce ideas off of or a professional mentor. Obvious benefits aside, it’s valuable to chat with someone who does your job outside of your company who understands the challenges and frustrations of your position. Ask questions and find out if others are having similar challenges. Conference sessions often have limited Q&A time. This means you sometimes don’t get an in-depth technical answer to your question. Round table sessions will allow you to thoroughly explore an issue with the aid of a knowledgeable, experienced moderator.Get different viewpoints.Every data management strategy and architecture is different. This generates vastly different experiences and viewpoints on subjects like architecture, governance, LEI, data depositories, transparency, regulatory compliance, IT and skill set development . Getting outside viewpoints may present challenges you wouldn’t have seen coming or solutions not otherwise considered. Share your own knowledge and expertise.Not only can you access and gain strategies you need for a specific project you’re working on, but you can also share your own experiences and knowledge with other heads of desks. You can build credibility, expand your network and help a colleague out.

17:30 Big Ideas Speaker: Using big data to predict the future and anticipate disaster in both markets and society
Tobias Preis, Founder and Managing Director, Artemis Capital Asset Management
Technology is becoming deeply interwoven into the fabric of society. We develop methods for continuous, automated analysis of online data in order to anticipate and detect significant societal events, such as political crises, humanitarian crises, mass violence, riots, mass migrations, disease outbreaks, economic instability, resource shortages, and responses to natural disasters. Tobias Preis will outline some recent highlights of his research, addressing two questions. Firstly, can big data resources provide insights into crises in financial markets? By analysing Google query volumes for search terms related to finance, we find patterns which may be interpreted as early warning signs of stock market moves. Secondly, can we provide insight into international differences in economic wellbeing by comparing patterns of interaction with the Internet? To answer this question, we introduce a future-orientation index to quantify the degree to which Internet users seek more information about years in the future than years in the past. Our results illustrate the potential that combining extensive behavioural data sets offers for a better understanding of large scale human economic behaviour.
  • Predictive Analytics of Big Data
  • Digital Traces of Human Behaviour
  • Financial Markets Moves Captured in Big Data
  • Web-based Open Source Indicators
  • News Analytics
  • Digital Economy
