Seth Freeman, CEO, EM Capital Management LLC
Carlos J.Hernandez, Head of Trading Technologies, Interacciones Casa de Bolsa (Mexico)
Sam Atkins, Director, Head of Electronic Trading Product Development , Renaissance Capital
  • Evaluating emerging markets on their technological readiness:
    • To what extent is DMA a possibility? Is it possible to have sponsored or naked access?
    • Which markets are suitable for collocation, and HFT strategies?
    • Are your current systems and platforms sufficient, or do you need to invest in upgrades?
    • What is the true state of connectivity with EM region exchanges and how should that influence your strategies?
  • Assessing the potential for algorithmic execution – is it a market reality? Are current algos suitable for EM execution or do you need tailored strategies to suit each country or region?
  • Highlighting risks in the execution landscapes of Emerging markets: as bourses position themselves for algo and HFT trading, and MTFs aim to offer EM access, will the fragmentation and increased volatility seen in Europe also arise in the EM context?
  • Identifying the opportunities presented by EM exchange deals such as the BRICs alliance, the ASEAN exchange network, or the LatAm initiatives (MILA) and how best to take advantage
