The Waters Weekly Wrap: March 26 - April 1
A look back at the best content published across all the Waters brands.

As you might have notice, some features from the April edition of Waters have started to trickle out online (see links below). Everything from the issue will be live by the middle of next week, including our cover-story profile Aberdeen's Iain Plunkett.
And in this week's Waters Wavelength Podcast, Dan and Anthony talk about the evolution of exchanges and the services they offer. They then turn their attention to Oliver Bussmann's departure from UBS and speculate on what he might do next. They also touch on the conclusion of the Apple-FBI debate. The guys wrap things up talking Wrestlemania 32 and the NCAA Final Four.
Also, we would like to invite you to take part in our latest WatersTechnology survey: Buy-Side Data Management Practices ─ Challenges and Opportunities. It should only take 15 minutes, max.
