14:30 Algowheel Case Study: Smarter execution: What does it take to design and implement an algo wheel that improves broker selection and execution outcomes?

When every basis point counts, optimising broker and algo selection is critical. This case study walks through one buy-side firm’s journey from concept to live deployment, covering everything from system integration to setting the rules that determine which broker or algo gets each order. We’ll explore how performance data, order characteristics, and strategy fit shape allocation decisions- and how desks monitor and adjust these rules over time to keep improving results. Expect candid insight into the operational, technical, and governance challenges of building an algo wheel that delivers measurable execution quality gains.

Main Day 2 | 23rd April

10:00 European Competitiveness Panel: Addressable liquidity and market attractiveness: Can the consolidated tape make Europe a destination market?

Hidden liquidity and fragmented visibility continue to frustrate European equity traders and investors. The proposed consolidated tape offers a route to greater transparency- but its true value could be in boosting Europe’s appeal as a place to trade and raise capital. Positioned within the European Commission’s market structure reforms and the Saving & Investment Union agenda, the tape could help fine-tune strategies, improve price discovery, and attract both issuers and investors. This session examines the tool- and the strategy beyond it. How should the tape be designed to serve both regulatory oversight and commercial edge? What other policy shifts are needed to ensure Europe doesn’t just match global peers, but becomes a market of choice? And, with the landscape likely to change over the next 3–10 years, how can market participants use the tape to navigate- and benefit from- that transformation?
