Ongoing volatility in the currency markets continues to combine with an as yet largely unblocked funding landscape that presents a potentially difficult picture going forward of risk and uncertainty.

Despite the European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee articulating a desire for a more benign version of its proposed new OTC derivatives legislation, anxiety remains over the final form of the legislation, particularly for pension fund managers.

Thus, it has become evident from our research that corporate treasurers and fund managers in particular place a sharpened focus on their core business activities as being key. Fundamentally, you need to trade faster, smarter and more efficiently. But how do you alleviate the lack of liquidity in the markets? How do you manage risk? And how do you ensure a clearer understanding of currency movements in these post-crisis times?

Carefully put together in concert with feedback gained directly from our broad readership’s request, this intimate and informative FX&MM Strategy & Technology Conference has been specifically designed to address the pressing issues, explored through peer-to-peer roundtable discussion groups, along with keynote addresses and panel discussions from leading FX players.
