Don’t worry about high frequency trading!

At this morning's excellent breakfast meeting the team at RBS gave us a really useful update on the developments in trading and markets.

 The wide ranging presentations covered the new trading platforms and implications for transparency and price formation, the changing buyside/broker relationships, hedge funds and high frequency trading and the outlook for equities.

For IROs the message is don't be too concerned about high frequency trading, talk to hedge funds and for European equities the outlook is positive. For those IROs who didn't attend you missed a very productive 90 minutes! Slides will shortly be available on the members' zone of our website.

Don't miss our next seminar on 24th March on Corporate Governance - this is a hot topic at present and not one on which you can afford to be behind the curve.
