Buy Side Day | 21st April

10:20 Buy Side Leadership Outlook Panel: Leading the desk forward - which initiatives are buy-side leaders investing in over the next three years to set their desk up for success?

In this session, four buy-side heads of trading share unfiltered perspectives on where they’re placing their biggest strategic bets- and what they’re leaving behind. From broker list redesign and bilateral partnerships to technology stack modernisation, leaner team structures, and the evolving role of AI, this discussion will explore how desks are being reshaped to meet the demands of the next three years. Expect honest views on the future of execution, the shifting balance between quants and process-driven traders, and what it means to scale trading without scaling headcount. Whether it’s building more modular infrastructure, navigating changing order flow dynamics, or adapting to increasing product diversification- this session will surface the critical calls that are set to define the future of buy-side trading.
