Panellists speaking at the JSE SA Trade Connect conference in Cape Town highlight the importance of resilience, as market unpredictability increasingly becomes part of the fabric of the industry.

South Africa needs to change its mindset and start thinking more deliberately about the long term, asserted one buy-side panellist speaking at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) SA Trade Connect 2026 conference on Thursday. 

At JSE SA Trade Connect 2026, Claudia Preece catches up with Ann Leepile, chief executive of M&G Investments Southern Africa, to unpack the institutional impacts of fragmentation and multi-venue trading, buy-side liquidity access and how the emerging markets landscape is set to evolve throughout 2026.  

Stéphane Boujnah tells The TRADE how Euronext has stayed focused on profitability and free cash flow as annual revenue increases were seen across fixed income, clearing, FX and equity divisions in 2025. 

Claudia Preece sits down with Cheree Dyers, chief executive of Prescient Investment Management at JSE SA Trade Connect 2026, to explore how the buy-side is approaching digital assets and tokenisation and the potential obstacles that may arise from these integrations, as well as how the client mandate landscape is evolving globally.  

Collaboration will enable like-for-like benchmarking of market abuse detection rates using reconstructed historical order book data. 

The partnership will allow the exchange to deploy ITRS’ Geneos platform, and also aligns with SEBI operational resilience requirements.

By selecting TS Imagine’s integrated platform, the investment bank is set to scale its fixed income outsourced trading operations while maintaining risk controls. 

The collaboration will allow Standard Chartered to consolidate multi-asset market data, news and analytics under a single governance and entitlement framework.
