Panel Discussion: The Buy-Side Challenges of Complying with the Market Abuse Regulation

The Market Abuse Regulation was designed to detect and deal with various forms of market abuse, including insider trading and market manipulation, forcing buy-side firms to deploy new technologies in order to comply.

Panelists:  

  • Elinor Murray, deputy head of European compliance, Janus Henderson Investors
  • Gautam Sachdev, managing director, global head of monitoring & surveillance, Risk Management Group, Macquarie Group
  • Bruno Piers de Raveschoot, chief operating officer, RIMES Technologies’ RegTech Division
  • Moderator: Victor Anderson, editor-in-chief, Waters and WatersTechnology

Issues covered in this 33-minute webcast include: 

  • The current state of play with respect to buy-side firms complying with the central tenets of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and what their most acute pain points are. 
  • The issues buy-side firms tend to underestimate in terms of complexity when it comes to complying with MAR.  
  • The technologies/services available to buy-side firms to assist them on the compliance front.
  • The functions/ingredients that a competent MAR platform/service should include.
  • How buy-side firms can satisfactorily address the significant data challenges when complying with MAR with respect to market, reference and pricing data and news feeds. 
  • The operational and technology challenges associated with accurate and reliable market surveillance – for example looking at various forms of market manipulation, monitoring trading activities across multiple asset classes and markets, and possibly even monitoring activities at the fill level – from an end-user (buy-side) perspective.        
  • The extent to which emerging technologies (such as AI) can be used to monitor and detect market abuse.
