10.05 How can regulation help support the global recovery?
Ari Burstein, Senior Counsel, Capital Markets, ICI
As the financial world assesses what effect the implementation of MiFID II, the Volcker Rule, the Dodd- Frank Act and more will have on the industry we ask the question is there a risk that incoming regulation will prevent a global recovery? Can we guarantee that those implementing new regulations understand the markets and are acting for the good of the market as a whole? Is all new legislation valid or can it be argued that some are a knee jerk reaction to the financial crisis?
  • Is the industry in need of such an overhaul?
  • How successful are global regulatory approaches to reduce risk?
  • How can you best take advantage of regulation?
  • How can we be sure that regulators understand the complexities of the market?
  • Has our industry become self servicing, and if so, is there a justification for regulation?

14.10 Driving down cost through a streamlined post trade lifecycle
Barnaby Nelson, Head of Client Development Asia, BNP Parbas
Front office demand has traditionally meant that resources have been aimed at pre-trade processes. However, with the post trade process in Asia painfully slow, unnecessarily complicated and exorbitantly expensive front office demand is now requiring the industry to simplify the post trade lifecycle and work together to lower post trade costs. We gather representatives from across the post trade spectrum to discuss what can, realistically be done to streamline the process and bring the cost down• Why are post trade costs so much higher in Asia and will they realistically come down? • What role must Asian exchanged adopt in tackling the post trade demands coming from the buy side?• How will the ASEAN link affect post trade in Asia?• Where does responsibility lie? What can the buy side do?• What technology can best be adopted to improve post trade efficiency?• What are we working towards? What does the idea post trade environment look like?

14.40 From best execution to total lifecycle cost; redefining what constitutes a good trade in Asia
Takashi Hiratsuka, Chief Trader, Asset Management Division, Resona Bank
TK Yap, Executive Director , OCBC Securities
Viresh Joshi, Assistant Vice President, Chief Trader Equity, Axis Asset Management
Whilst it is easier to define in Europe and the US, best execution is an integral part of a desk’s trading strategy in Asia. However with so much fragmentation, regulation, higher costs across the life of the trade and lower liquidity, defining and acting with best execution becomes even more challenging. For example, given the challenges of trading in Asia does best execution become obtaining a lower price for a small amount or a higher price for a larger amount? Here we discuss the need to modify your best execution strategy across Asia and what technology you can utilize to support this. What costs can be driven out of the trade lifecycle through an improved focus on areas such as clearing, settlement, FX, custodian selection and identifying efficiencies?

With the growth in popularity of algo trading how must the sales trader evolve and what unique skills appeal to the buy side trader?

Larry Tabb, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, The Tabb Group
Steve Edge, Principal , Asia Etrading
Our panel of futurists debate what we will be discussing in twenty years time and how the global economy will look. Will the traditional buy and sell side still exist? Will asset classes merge together? Is HFT still around? Has high touch trading died out and have the machines taken over? Do national exchanges still exist or are we all trading off one exchange? Which currency are we using? How dominant has social networking become or will it have died out?
