Thriving In The Future FX Landscape – 15th September 2016

Thursday, February 9th, 2017


12:10 One on One Interview: HFTs And Non Bank Market Makers: How Are They Carving Out A Significant Role In Liquidity Provision To The FX Market?

  • Why have non-bank market makers, or high frequency traders, been the subject of negative publicity? Is it now generally accepted that alternative market makers have a positive contribution to make to FX market liquidity?

  • How the willingness of banks to take prices from non-banks and redistribute them to their own clients on an agency basis has created an attractive business model for alternative market makers – how they are seizing this opportunity

  • When are you better served by alternative market makers as opposed to banks? How can or should the buy side interact with non-bank market makers?
