Payments hubs have been a talking point for a number of years now. Once envisioned as the 'silver bullet' for payment system consolidation, the reality has become somewhat different. I've talked to a lot of different banks over the past few months, including some at Sibos, about the status of the hub projects they have undertaken. The overwhelmin...

It’s hard to believe that Sibos is upon us again. It doesn’t seem like almost a year since we were all in Amsterdam. (Although they do say that times goes faster as you get older, so maybe that’s to blame…) In a world where so much is ‘virtual’, I must confess to a small stab of guilt at the thought of so many people travelling from around the worl...

Sibos once again fast approaches, the programme is largely set and delegates can begin to plan their week in Toronto in some detail. As the recent financial crisis is no longer centre stage, the overall themes for Sibos recognise that the focus is shifting to the future and that the industry is grappling with new questions, especially around the i...

Consolidation upon consolidation in the Exchange and MTF space with the values given to the purchased or merged business leaves me thinking that in the end there can be only one. The many MTFs set up just a few short years ago and all based on the same business plan looks like a fast track way to make huge money for the prime investors. Each MTF wa...

The news that JP Morgan is undetaking a massive downsize of its many trading systems is long over due and hopefully sets a trend for the market. Technology in this space has today run miles ahead of any system with any eighties or nineties legacy and i am certain that JPM Chase is going to gain huge financial and operational benefits. There will b...

The news that the LSE has agreed a merger with Canada's TMX Group which operates the Toronto and Montreal Stock Exchanges is a great move for both. It is a very imaginative deal that offers both a strong footing in Europe and the North American continent, enabling potential business growth and an exciting new opportunity for investors. With the lar...

SIBOS may have just witnessed a day that put the first nail in 'execution only stockbroking'. peterevans one of the smaller software houses is demonstrating its new app, which basically negates the need for the middle man (stockbroker) by executing directly on the Stock Exchange. The obvious thought is to link the app to the wholesale market and g...

This year SIBOS in an 'appy' mood. With a number of vendors demoing apps, in particular, I was really impressed with peterevans and Information Mosaic (IM) who have both produced great apps that will set the trend for the future. peterevans has a great trade execution app and IM something wonderful in Corporate Actions. I predict that next years S...
A lasting memory of SIBOS this year is the fantastic job that FINEXTRA has done in bringing up to date news, informative interviews, comments and some real entertainment during very long days. Nick Hastings and his team take a bow! In my opinion delegates could benefit furthur, if the FINEXTRA news/ topical videos featured more in the future, by pe...
The challenges of regulation for SEPA were made clear in the "SEPA 2010" session at Sibos today when the European Commission declared that "moving from self-regulation to regulation is not a small step but a major challenge”. In a sense, that sentiment comes as no surprise at all, given how far we've already travelled down the road ...
