Summary:
Stocks, bonds, and foreign exchange are old news. If you want to peer into the future of finance, take a serious look at the esoteric world of derivatives instead. Derivatives are undergoing astounding growth and contribute 8-10% of overall revenue for many Wall Street firms. Investment managers, insurance firms, hedge funds, commercial banks, and corporates use them for hedging, risk management, or speculation. Activity among derivatives exchanges is extraordinary as well. Regulators are relaxing rules related to using derivatives, as evidenced by changes to ERISA and adoption of the Prudent Investor Rule. And yet, derivatives remain an enigma to many investors and industry participants.
This Session will-
- Introduce you to derivatives, including the size of this business, growth rates, and
different instruments
- Describe the current state of maturity of this market and expectations for the future
- Discuss major participants in this business and ways firms are using derivatives
- Analyze major IT issues in derivatives across trading, analytics, back-office processing, risk
management, and reporting
- Explain how derivatives fit into the strategy of brokerage firms and what individual firms are
providing.
