The TRADETech Daily 2024

It’s that time of year once again where the equity trading community congregates together in Paris for one of the most significant events in its calendar. TradeTech Europe offers those operating in our space a platform to raise their voices above the noise and talk about the topics that really matter to them. Every year, friends and colleagues gather together and The TRADE is delighted to return
once again to the Palais de Congrès as the official media partner to the event.

Right, that’s the positive bit out of the way, time for some harsh realities. As we enter Q2, traders once again find themselves in a continuously challenging environment and on the cusp of yet another wave of change to navigate. Markets globally are teetering on the precipice of moving towards a rate cutting regime, with many looking to the plethora of elections going on globally as a key driver for this change. Meanwhile the regulatory landscape continues to shift as amendments agreed as part of the Mifid review roll out into the market and the industry prepares for the shift to T+1 in the US. Against this backdrop, trading desks have been forced to become increasingly advanced and savvy with the way that they operate, whether that be through new strategies or technology.

These themes are translated into the panels you’ll listen to this week and the content you’ll read in this issue of The TRADETech Daily. It wouldn’t be a TRADE issue without a string of interviews with buy-side speakers and this year you’ll find content exploring optimising algorithms, navigating the macroeconomic landscape, hiring new talent, leveraging retail liquidity and much more from speakers across T. Rowe Price, Man Group, Candriam, Federated Hermes, Invesco, Fidelity, and AXA Investment Managers.

The TRADE team will be in full force on the ground at this year’s event (travelling by Eurostar this year instead of pedalling) so make sure to come and say hello if you spot us. For now, all that’s left to say is bonne conférence!
