Welcome

SIFMA’s 9th Annual Market Structure Conference is the leading industry conference addressing the new regulatory, business and structural changes transforming the securities markets.  These important changes – new regulations, fierce competition, global opportunities, innovative trading platforms, and dynamic business strategies all are influencing the future of our market structure.

This conference is a must for industry professionals responsible for market regulation, legal and compliance issues, strategic planning, and trading, as well as for senior management at broker/dealers and market centers.  SIFMA is bringing together business and regulatory leaders to address the key issues that will shape the future of the financial markets.

Some of the major issues that will be addressed include:

  • Treasury Blueprint for a Modernized Financial Regulatory Structure: will you soon be faced with a different regulator?
  • Dark Pools – how are they impacting your business model? 
  • Reg NMS – what has the impact been on exchanges, broker-dealers and the equities markets as a whole?  Will Reg NMS soon apply to the options markets?
  • Best execution – are the obligations changing in light of regulatory and structural changes?
  • Options, Derivatives, Futures, Equities – increasingly one trading world?
  • Algo trading, smart order routers, crossing engines – sophisticated technology: good or bad?
  • Are you ready for global convergence?
