European Parliament to clarify MiFID II review proposal at TradeTech Nordic

Oct. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- TradeTech Nordic is perfectly timed with the published reform. Kay Swinburne, Member of the Committee on Economic & Monetary Affairs in European Parliament will give a keynote speech to 350 delegates which we expect to provide clarity around the legislative proposal for MiFID II.The updated direction touches all corners of the financial markets including the new types of execution venues, dark pools and market data pricing, to the introduction of a consolidated tape and best execution.

As the Nordic economies continue to lead on the global stage, with economic progress looking particularly strong in Sweden and Norway this year, the issue of regulation in this area cannot be ignored.

Even bigger than last year, TradeTech Nordic (http://www.wbresearch.com/tradetechnordic) will have over 100 Nordic buy side Heads of Trading who will cooperate with the regulators onsite to take control of their regulatory future on Monday 7 & Tuesday 8 November at the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm.

Jens Jacob Foged, Head of Trading at Sparinvest said “TradeTech Nordic is great because of the unique nature of the Nordic markets and the increased need for personal interaction to locate and secure liquidity. On top of that it gives buy side and sell side an opportunity to debate and relate to new trends in the marketplace and trading”

Other industry leading speakers who will be present include: Simo Puhakka, Head of Trading, Pohjola Asset Management; Hans Lindh, Head of Trading, Swedbank Robur; Anders Kulp, Head of Trading, Estlander & Partners; Jens Jacob Foged, Head of Trading, Sparinvest; Patrik Säfvenblad, Investment Partner, Harmonic Capital Partners; Giovanni Beliossi, Managing Partner and CEO, FGS Capital; Hanne Råe Larsen, Director Securities Division, Finanstilsynet; Bartosz Bacia, Polish FSA and many more.
