Nicola 'Superwoman' Horlick and Brian Winterflood will lead a high-powered panel of City executives debating the future of European securities markets at Finextra's final Post-Trade Forum event of the year, which takes place at the London Stock Exchange later this month.
Horlick, CEO of Bramdean Asset Management, and Winterlood will be joined on the podium by Hirander Misra of Misra Ventures and the LSE'S Kevin Milne for the half-day gathering on 29 November.
The fourth in a series of Post-Trade Forum debates, the event - organised by Finextra and analyst house Biss Research - has captured the imagination of City executives as European securities markets face increasing pressure for reform amid a turbulent economic environment.
With EU plans for a comprehensive overhaul of MiFID regulations underway, this month's Post-Trade Forum session is particularly timely, as panellists discuss the pros and cons of MTF's versus stock exchanges, the future of dark pools, and critical issues surrounding the competing vertical and horizontal models for clearing and the introduction of a consolidated tape.
The debate, closed to the media and conducted under the 'Chatham House Rule', will end with a 'pro or con' show of hands to see where the industry stands on the issues on the table.
Registration for what promises to be a substantive and lively debate is open now.
