The trend towards securities market globalization is clear with issuers and investors demanding global alternatives to raise and invest funds. After years of false starts, a true global infrastructure is beginning to take shape to support the increasing volume of cross-border trading. Although cross-border trading volumes have been increasing, the barriers and challenges the industry faces are many.
The securities industry has been focusing on the development of efficient and consistent infrastructures for the regulation, trading and processing of cross-border trading activity. Not only are depositories, clearinghouses, regulators, custodians and broker-dealers dedicating increased resources to manage the risks and increase the efficiencies associated with global clearance, settlement and asset servicing, but industry groups and even government organizations have proposed complex and comprehensive models for implementing appropriate cost and risk controls.
This conference, in its second year, will explore the various industry initiatives as well as examine the actual solutions proposed by industry organizations and leading vendors to deal with global securities processing from trade to settlement.
