Optimising Fund Pricing Operations

With reference to the ‘Unlocking Transformational Efficiency in Fund Operations’ posting on the Tabb Forum, Unit Pricing is a prime example of a function firms should invest in for continuous improvement.

ISO 20022 for ACH and RTGS payments?

I had an interesting conversation recently that followed on from the Sibos 2011 Standards Forum in Toronto where the Canadian Payment Association (CPA) discussed its plans to use ISO 20022 for both High and Low value payments.

When MiFID was written one of its objectives was to create increased competition to the Stock Exchanges. The view being that the Stock Exchanges were operating in what looked like a monopoly and with mergers they would be creating further monopolistic positions. This was considered bad for investors as it limited choice and forced acceptance of th...
