The financial crisis still continues to bite globally but around the world firms are still continuing to find liquidity and make money.

Above all, how are economic and technical developments impacting upon the buy side’s ability to generate returns?
  • How to best source liquidity on a global basis: Which asset classes provide the best returns and which regions show the most promise?
  • To what extent is the role of the trader evolving? Are traders having more control over stock selections and do they want more control?
  • How are global trading strategies being tailored for Asia and with what success?
  • How will regulatory change in the US and Europe affect global trading and to what extent will Asia be affected?

Jeremy Grant, Corporate Correspondent, south east asia, Financial Times
Tal Cohen, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Chi-X Global
Whilst AEVs across Asia are now a very real part of the landscape, it’s also fair to say that they haven’t taken the region by storm. Here, we ask why haven’t AEVs created the revolution they seeked to make and whether time is running out?
  • How have alternative venues impacted global equity markets?
  • What’s next for alternative venues in Asia?
  • What regulatory hurdles are preventing future growth?
  • Focus on Japan: Will Japan embrace competition?

12.20 ‘We can rebuild him. We have the capability, we have the technology.’ Building the new smart Asian buy-side trader
Andy Maynard, Global Head of Trading and Execution, CLSA

Tim Bruenjes, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Management, Equity Trading, PIMCO
Stanley Luk, Head of Trading, Asia, Invesco
Stephane Leroy, Head of Global Sales & Marketing, Quanthouse, part of S&P Capital IQ
With algo trading accounting for over 30% of all Asian trading, and rising, it’s clear that the modern Asian buy side trader requires a totally new set of skills than they did even five years ago. 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?
