While AI offers exciting possibilities for capital markets, separating hype from reality will be crucial.
We recently sat down with seasoned industry veteran and current Head of Global Industry Operations and Execution at the FIA, Don Byron.
The numerous geopolitical events taking place this year could end up shaping the trajectory of post-trade operations for years to come.
Two years after our initial research, we visit the landscape of automation within capital markets to asses its evolution and impact. Where is the industry looking to for success and are there any alternative investment drivers in 2024.
Two years after conducting our initial report we revisit the findings and ask what has changed since then and where there is still work to be done.
This report is based on a survey of Acuiti's Sell-Side Clearing Network, and takes a detailed look at EMIR 3.0, CCP default risk, DORA and training in manual clearing.
The FIA's report has been lauded for addressing critical cyber security issues however, is it reliant on existing programs or is it a new forward-thinking approach?

Automation is slowly eating away at rule-based processes, which can free up people for more important opportunities or it may simply make human tasks and processes obsolete.
The derivatives efficiency puzzle facing many organisations is not the volume of data they possess but how to maximise its utility.
In capital markets the recent period has presented significant challenges, with one of the hardest hit areas in post-trade being settlements and payments.
FCMs need to avoid taking a narrow view of automation and advanced analytics and need to realise that the value potential of these initiatives can amount to more than the sum of their parts.
