The rise of the smart, proactive trader also brings with it a necessary rethink in the PM / trader relationship. Here we discuss what new skills are crucial to the modern buy side trader and what to look for in hiring new talent. How is the role of the smart Asian trader evolving? What do you look for when building an Asian trading desk from scratch? How do you source talent in the region, and what are you looking for? Does the modern graduate prefer to work for Apple or Google rather than the financial sector, and if so how can they be won over? Will the new smart trader take responsibility from the PM? As regulatory requirements take the PM away from the desk, does the modern trader need to be more decisive? Should the modern trader be an expert in all markets or specialised in one?

Stream One: TradeTech Advanced Hard hitting debate and analysis Soenke Steinert, Senior Manager, equities Trading, Quoniam Asset Management Sanjay Awasthi, Director, Eastspring Investments Daniel Lee, Director, Electronic Trading, DBS Vickers Colin Silvester, Director of Business Development, IPC Tom Kingsley, Head of Asia Execution Consulting, Bloomberg Tradebook The death sentence has been frequently passed on the trading desk due to the advancement and adoption of a low touch algo trading strategy. However, rather than eradicate the need for a broker, algo trading merely requires a new breed. Here we analyse the changing skillset of the modern trader and discuss the impact, both positive and negative, that algo trading has had on the desk. Is classic, high touch trading coming back into fashion? Is a smart trader who understands their algos all you need, or should there be a clear differentiator between high and low touch trading? The buy side doesn’t want order takers, they want partners, how must the modern trader evolve to ensure a healthy partnership?

As algo trading increases it is imperative that you understand exactly what the algo you’re using is, and how it works. In an in-depth workshop we pop the hood of an algo, take it apart and get a real understanding of how it functions. • Which pools do they interact with? • How do they ensure the best price? • How much impact will you have on the market? • Are algos pushing prices up? • How can you move effectively from a high touch to an algo trading strategy?

Stream Two: TradeTech Fundamentals In depth workshops on complex strategies Matthew Saul, Head of Trading Asia, ex Japan, Fidelity Investment Managers Barry Woodward, Chief Operating Officer, Morningstar Real Time Catalin-Razvan Burlacu, Managing Director, Nexus Alpha John Tompkins, Head of Trading, Senrigan Capital Group Jordan Iordanov, Partner, Allston Trading The emergence of HFT is perhaps the most contentious issue currently in the industry. Already dominant in the US and Europe, Asia is seeing a rise in HFT however is this beneficial for all players? We ask what is the future of HFT in Asia in light of increasing regulations and is high frequency trading at risk of being taxed and/or scapegoated out of existence? If so, what are the ramifications for the industry? Here we debate whether HFT adds value or volatility to Asian markets. • Has HFT sparked necessary and long overdue investment from the exchanges?• Does HFT really add quality liquidity to the market or is it just phantom liquidity? • Is there any common ground between long only’s and HFT or are their issues too divisive? • Could a flash crash happen in Asia and how can high frequency traders prove to the market that they are a beneficial presence? • Does it matter? Shouldn’t we be asking why people are trading, not how?• What have been the main regulations introduced in the last 12 months that have impacted upon HFT in Asia?• Will cancellation fees push liquidity into the arms of the few? • How must HFT firms evolve in order to incorporate regulation whilst also providing liquidity to the market and making money?
