Institutional trading strategies continue to grow more complex, automated, and data-driven – and the front office technology that executes those trading strategies needs to keep up with the rapidly changing landscape.
To that end, Global Trading, a Markets Media Group editorial platform, will host a free webinar on Wednesday, September 23, in partnership with financial technology firm FIS.
Entitled Days, Not Months: Engineering the Agile Front Office for Next-Gen Alpha, the webinar will equip market participants with strategic insights to modernize front-office technology, achieve rapid asset-class onboarding, and transition from reactive risk management to proactive, real-time total portfolio insights.
Topics will include:
- The Agility Imperative: Speed to Alpha — Moving from legacy infrastructure to modular, plug-and-play execution systems, data feeds, and trading algorithms
- AI and Data Frameworks: Building the Single Source of Truth — Unifying front-, middle-, and back-office data, and moving AI from theory to front-office practice
- Proactive vs. Reactive Risk Review — Shifting from ex post facto risk to intraday visibility and autonomous controls
Webinar participants are:
- Ronan Farrell, Global Head of Buyside, FIS® Cross Asset Trading and Risk, FIS
- Britni Ihle, Managing Director – Artificial Intelligence, BlackRock Global Markets
- Marcin Kadziela, Head of Technology, Fasanara Capital
Terry Flanagan, Managing Editor at Markets Media, will moderate the interactive, one-hour webinar, which will commence at 9 am New York time / 2 pm London time on Sept. 23.
