The post Tonight’s the night… Leaders in Trading 2023 appeared first on The TRADE.

Now in its second year, this award is designed to celebrate those individuals who have made a significant impact on their own organisation and, equally, the industry externally, with a commitment to bettering and future proofing the markets for years to come.

Shortlisted individuals are repeated contributors to discussion whether that be through panels, associations or schemes to support the next generation joining the financial services industry.

The winner will be decided by a live industry vote at The TRADE’s Leaders in Trading gala awards night on 8 November. Congratulations to this year’s shortlisted nominees!

Industry Person of the Year 2023 shortlist:

Seema Arora, managing director, head of execution sales, Instinet Europe  

Champion of The TRADE’s Rising Stars of Trading and Execution award scheme, Instinet Europe’s Seema Arora needs little introduction with an extensive financial career spanning more than 25 years.

Beginning her career at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson as director and head of portfolio sales trading in 1997, she later went on to spend six years at JP Morgan, initially as an executive director and head of execution sales responsible for electronic and portfolio trading and ETFs. She later took on a role at the bank as executive director of investor flow sales responsible for the introduction of its derivative product to its UK client base.

Prior to joining Instinet Europe, Arora spent several years at Kepler Cheuvreux also in senior execution sales, program and portfolio trading focused roles. She joined Instinet Europe in 2019 as managing director and head of execution sales, her current role where she is responsible for the growth of new and existing client revenue. 

Alongside her role within the markets, Arora is vocal in her support of the next generation of individuals entering the financial services industry through participation in intern programs and the Rising Stars initiative, in partnership with The TRADE. 

Eleanor Beasley, chief operating officer for EMEA equity execution services, Goldman Sachs 

Chief operating officer of EMEA equity execution services, Eleanor Beasley, joined Goldman Sachs to manage its new-look market structure team in 2019. She assumed the role at the bank after a 15-year stint with Morgan Stanley where she held several roles, most recently head of market structure for clients.

In her current role for Goldman Sachs, she is responsible for ensuring the operational efficiency of the business, managing relationships with exchanges and ensuring the business and its clients are well-positioned for developments within the European market structure. She began her career as an analyst at the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) in 2002.

Beasley is a committed expert and thought leader in market structure – an essential tool for any institution amid the many regulatory shifts taking place in the market as of late – and alongside her role at Goldman Sachs she is also chair of the AFME Securities Trading Committee, as well as sitting on the board of Cboe Europe and participating in several exchange and industry advisory groups.

Chris Jackson, global head of equities strategy and head of equities, EMEA, Liquidnet

Global head of equities strategy and head of EMEA equities for Liquidnet, Chris Jackson has an extensive equity trading career spanning over 25 years. He began his career in program trading sales at London-based investment bank SG Warburg.

Jackson later spent 12 years at Merrill Lynch where he held a number of roles in both London and New York, most recently as head of sales across programme, transitions and electronic trading for the EMEA region. Jackson left Merrill Lynch in 2009 to join Citi as its head of execution sales for EMEA before joining Liquidnet in 2015. He served in a variety of senior equities roles until his most recent one as global head of equity strategy and head of equities for EMEA. He is also responsible for Liquidnet’s equity product strategy. Jackson played a pivotal role during the acquisition of Liquidnet by TP ICAP Group, ensuring a smooth transition during the integration process.

Alongside his various equities roles within the market, Jackson has previously been co-chair of the FIX committee for EMEA, an advisor to the UK Government office for science on the future of computer trading in financial markets and a founding member of the OpenTCA initiative to promote transparency and standards in transaction cost analysis (TCA). In April, he took part in a charity bike ride home from the TradeTech Europe 2023 conference in Paris in aid of Farms for City Children.

Stéphane Marie-Françoise, director, multi-asset trader, Unigestion

Senior vice president and multi-asset trader at Unigestion, Stéphane Marie-Françoise, has an extensive financial markets career spanning more than 20 years. Beginning his career at Dexia Securities as a financial analyst assistant in 2002 he has since gone on to serve at CPR Asset Management, Amundi and Unigestion.

After joining CPR Asset Management in 2002 in a middle-office role, Marie-Françoise rose through the ranks, joining the dealing desk in 2005 in an equities program trading and derivatives position. He later took responsibility for the dealing desk in 2007, managing a team of three traders. Marie-Françoise moved to Amundi as a senior execution trader in 2012 before eventually joining Unigestion in 2013 in a multi-asset capability as a vice president and multi-asset trader. He was promoted to senior vice president in 2018, later taking on his current role as director and multi asset trader.

Marie-Françoise was recognised as one of The TRADE’s Rising Stars of Trading and Execution in 2017. He is a continued thought leader in the industry, particularly in the multi-asset sphere, and was subsequently awarded the Buy-side Market Structure Expert of the Year award at Leaders in Trading 2022 by The TRADE after an industry vote.

Matt Mcloughlin, chief commercial officer and partner, Liontrust Asset Management

Former TRADE Rising Star of Trading Execution, Matt McLoughlin has nearly two decades of financial markets experience, including the last eight years he has spent at Liontrust Asset Management. He began his career at the UK’s HM Treasury, before moving to AIG Investments to manage fixed income funds.

He subsequently spent six years as a senior trader at hedge fund RAB Capital before moving to Legal & General Investment Management to trade global equities and derivatives. Following this, in 2015, he shifted to Liontrust to run the trading desk. He assumed the role of chief commercial officer at Liontrust in April, now overseeing the development and commercial strategies of the Group as well as maintaining oversight of the trading desk. Under his stewardship, Liontrust was awarded the Multi-Asset Trading Desk of the Year and Mid-Cap Trading Desk of the Year by The TRADE in 2022 and 2017 respectively.

McLoughlin is a committed contributor to industry discussion and to the development of new talent in the markets. Alongside his core roles, McLoughlin is a director and board member of The Plato Partnership, a member of the Liontrust Investment Partners LLP Management Committee and a member of Liontrust Product & Distribution Committee, as well as having numerous committee memberships at the UK Investment Association.

The post Leaders in Trading 2023: Industry Person of the Year shortlist revealed appeared first on The TRADE.

This award recognises those trailblazers looking to revolutionise the way the industry operates by optimising workflows, creating new routes to market ,and offering up new and innovative technology to replace manual tasks.

After an extensive selection process, The TRADE and Instinet have chosen an eclectic selection of firms for this year’s shortlist, including: Ediphy, Octaura, Saphyre and smartTrade Technologies.

Ediphy

Designed as a single point of entry to the fixed income markets for participants, Ediphy has made waves in the last 12 months. The firm is known for both its data and analytics,and its fixed income execution offerings, combining the two to become a swiss army knife for fixed income traders looking to navigate the markets.

At the end of last year, Ediphy launched its credit and cleared interest rate swaps solution alongside its existing government bond trading capability. Since this expansion of its remit, the firm has announced several other new initiatives aimed at further assisting participants using its platform.

In June, Ediphy launched a new artificial intelligence tool for assessing bonds liquidity, aimed at addressing challenges posed by fragmentation in the fixed income markets.

Named Liquidity Checker, the tool allows users to input their own bond interests in a personalised watchlist and subsequently gives real time notifications of shifting liquidity.

The system scans the market and then notifies users of the optimal time to trade their chosen instruments. If their chosen bonds are lacking liquidity, the tool allows users to broaden their search to alternative options. It also has a “smart search” function that will make its own suggestion to similar bonds for the user’s chosen portfolio based on reference and market data.

This was followed by a new all-in-one platform aimed at addressing workflow and data challenges in the fixed income space, namely data overload and disparate workflow environments, launched in September. In practice, the solution captures internal data for clients, including orders, axes and RFQ history and subsequently combines this with liquidity data from various market gateways.

Octaura

In April, Octaura, an electronic trading, data, and analytics solution for syndicated loans and CLOs, officially launched into the market as the first comprehensive syndicated loan trading venue delivering trading protocols, real-time data and analytics on a single platform. The firm has received backing from Bank of America, Citi, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Moody’s Analytics, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo. It was also shortlisted for The TRADE’s Editors’ Choice Outstanding Electronic Trading Initiative in 2022.

Backed by the seven syndicated loan market dealers, Octaura developed a platform which allows clients to execute via traditional request for quote (RFQ) on single line items, or a list of facilities, leading to other portfolio trading protocols based on participant demands like optimisations and ramps. Built in collaboration with Genesis Global, Octaura asserts that its platform reduces friction points and potential errors inherent to manual trading with automated trade bookings, utilising straight through processing and working with order management system providers to develop pre- and post-trade integration functionalities.

The loan trading platform is currently live with 81 buy-side clients and 11 dealers, with another 50 buy-side firms in the onboarding process.

In October, Octaura Holdings integrated list and request for quote (RFQ) protocols to its existing syndicated loan trading platform. The new protocols will provide clients with faster trade execution and enhanced price transparency with straight-through processing, alongside streamlining trading workflows for dealers and buy-side investors.

Up next for Octaura is tackling the CLO market. The firm is currently onboarding accounts for the launch of a beta version of the CLO trading platform, which will feature dealer axes and RFQ protocols later this year. Octaura is also developing a solution for the “challenging and time-consuming” BWIC process, which is expected to launch next year.

Saphyre

After an incredibly strong 2022 for Saphyre, the firm has continued to excel and innovate, constantly pushing the boundaries of its client offering. Saphyre’s interoperable artificial intelligence technology helps firms to digitise and structure shared data and documents pre-trade. This allows firms to assess risk faster, as well as speeding up the onboarding process by eliminating inefficiencies in the booking, confirmation, and settlement process.

Last year, saw Saphyre receive backing from JP Morgan and BNP Paribas in a Series A funding round of $18.7 million and gained traction for its flagship artificial intelligence solution from Legal & General Investment Management. Among the other major names added to its roster in 2022 was Societe Generale, which onboarded Saphyre’s platform for buy-side fund onboarding. The work gained the firm a shortlisted nomination for the Fintech of the Year award at Leaders in Trading 2022.

However, Saphyre’s work did not stop there and in 2023, co-founders Gabino and Stephen Roche, have shown no signs of abating when it comes to further innovating their platform. In February, the London Stock Exchange Group’s (LSEG) FXall business entered into a strategic alliance with Saphyre to digitise account onboarding for FXall clients through Saphyre’s AI technology.

Saphyre’s AI technology gives liquidity providers the ability to systematically approve accounts and is validated and live for a subset of FXall clients – with plans for all FXall clients to receive the offering as additional enhancements are made this year. The technology will offer asset owners and buy-side users the ability to share all their FX account data and documents with their respective liquidity providers and FXall. Elsewhere, sell-side users will have the same capabilities alongside being able to provide statuses to the accounts’ KYC, tax, credit risk, legal and ops setup activities.

smartTrade Technologies

Last but not least, smartTrade Technologies has had a stellar year both in terms of bolstering its offering and expanding its client base. The firm provides an end-to-end multi-asset electronic trading and payments technology suite across foreign exchange, crypto, fixed income and derivatives. According to smartTrade, it is connected to more than 130 liquidity providers.

It’s core offerings include LiquidityFX, an ultra-low latency FX trading solution, smartFI, a sell- and buy-side fixed income trading solution, and its expansive suite of analytics. In March, Japanese securities firm SMBC Nikko Securities selected smartTrade Technologies’ fully hosted and managed FX platform LiquidityFX to enhance its FX trading activities in Japan. The platform provides aggregation, smart execution, risk management, order management, analytics, payments and multi-channel distribution, alongside offering support for a range of instruments including FX spot, forwards, swaps, NDFs and options.

The firm prides itself on its newly established artificial intelligence offering. Announced in September, the ‘smart Copilot’ tool aims to enhance front office payments and trading. smart Copilot leverages the integration of several large language models (LLMs) and technologies including OpenAI ChatGPT to provide an enhanced and tailored sales assistance offering that optimises trading.

The post Leaders in Trading 2023: Meet the nominees for… FinTech of the Year appeared first on The TRADE.

New to Leaders in Trading 2023, this category is designed to recognise those firms and individuals going above and beyond to service and support their clients in light of the numerous regulatory and market structure overhauls taking place across the globe.

Post-Brexit, divergence continues to play a part in the regulatory regime in the UK and Europe, while other major shifts such as the transition to T+1 settlement in the US are likely to significantly impact the way institutions operate.

In light of this, The TRADE has selected Goldman Sachs, Optiver, RBC and TD Cowen for the 2023 shortlist, following their efforts over the last 12 months. 

Goldman Sachs

Over the last 12 months, Goldman Sachs’ market structure and regulatory team, spearheaded by chief operating officer for EMEA equity execution services, Eleanor Beasley, has continued to provide thought-leading content in the context of market structure changes in the EU and UK. Whether that has been covering consultation papers that continue to come from the UK and the EU, or highlighting changes in exchange offerings or migrations, the investment bank has provided insights on what it believes the impact is going to be and what is going to happen to the broader liquidity landscape as a result.

Alongside helping its clients to make sense of regulatory regime changes in Europe and the UK, Goldman Sachs has produced deep dives into regulatory updates and launched a new quarterly market structure podcast – ‘Evolving Equities’ – in which Beasley hosts a new external guest each episode. The quarterly content aims to provide clients with insights to better understand and navigate the equities landscape. Other regular content by Goldman Sachs includes weekly liquidity colour, monthly liquidity analysis, quarterly cost to trade analysis and quarterly developed vs emerging markets liquidity deep dives.

Goldman Sachs’ market structure team works as part of a broader team within the investment bank, including the quant analysts and its SOR strategy team to ensure that market structure and information received from regulators is an integral part of its broader liquidity strategy. 

Optiver

With former TRADE reporter and Rosenblatt analyst, Anish Puaar, at the wheel, non-traditional liquidity provider Optiver has made a significant push into the thought leadership sphere in the last 12 months, aiding both its own counterparties and firms across the wider market in their understanding of the shifting market structure and regulatory landscape.

In the last year, the market maker has published whitepapers and spoken at industry conferences on a variety of topics including: the “anti-competitive nature” of single market-maker exchanges, the benefits and risks of Europe following suit with the US in the pursuit of T+1 settlement, the international financing review (IFR), closing-auction outages and market-maker protections in the options market. As well as the history and uses of short-term options, capital markets recommendations for incoming EU policymakers and the Asia-pacific equity options markets.

The market maker has also introduced a quarterly market structure newsletter for trading counterparties, highlighting statistics like liquidity and trading spreads across cash equities trading venues, and published comment letters on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) equity market structure proposals. Optiver is committed to voicing its opinion in industry bodies and at industry forums and conferences. Subscribers to the market maker’s Insights email list are up 39% this year, Optiver confirmed.

RBC

Headed up by global head of market structure, Rich Steiner, with consultants on the ground in Europe such as former TRADE editor, Hayley McDowell, RBC’s global market structure team provides insights and content on key themes and trends to assist clients with their execution processes and decisions. They produce monthly recaps, key development notes and in-depth reports on market structure themes which are distributed regularly to clients, as well as curated content on client request.

The team collaborates closely with product to develop the algo suite and logic based on regulatory, liquidity and other market structure changes to improve performance, reduce costs and increase efficiency for its clients. Current themes of focus include liquidity shifts, AI and machine learning, T+1 settlement, upcoming changes to Mifid II research rules and market outages.

Earlier this year, RBC’s Digital Solutions and Client Insights (DSCi3) business expanded Aiden, its proprietary AI-based electronic trading platform, into Europe. The tool is designed to reduce slippage against the volume weighted average price (VWAP) benchmark while minimising market impact. According to RBC, it’s market structure team played a key role in Aiden’s implementation by ensuring the algorithm leverages the nuances of the European trading landscape and informing clients of Aiden’s capabilities and logic with the product and coverage teams.

TD Cowen

TD Cowen’s market structure offering is spearheaded by former Citi, LSEG and Turquoise alumnus James Baugh, now head of European market structure for the firm. TD Cowen, part of TD Securities, aims to put market structure at the core of its electronic trading business. The market structure offering provided by the institution is a “linchpin for liquidity strategies and a driving force behind its distinctive algorithmic trading offerings,” TD Cowen told the TRADE.

The TD Cowen market structure team provides opinions and insights into regulatory and market structure changes, adding depth, perspective and practical value by illustrating how these changes directly affect day-to-day business. The firm also regularly distributes notes and updates to the buy-side community. These updates cover a wide range of topics, such as the implications of diverging regulations post-Brexit, the re-bundling of research, the ban on payment for order flow (PFOF), primary market outages and data centre moves.

Actively engaged in discussions on key topics impacting the industry, TD Cowen participates in most major industry forums and conferences, reaching markets across the continent and as far afield as South Africa. Its involvement with Q15, where James Baugh serves as an advisor to the Equity Quorum, emphasises its role in shaping industry dialogue.
