2nd Annual Securities Processing
Increasing process efficiency and automation for maximum competitiveness...

Increasing securities trading volumes have highlighted the need to improve securities processing infrastructure in Asia which being a fragmented market is challenged by regulatory concerns especially in cross-border clearing & settlement of securities. Due to the lack of harmonisation of regulation across APAC, foreign investors find it difficult to enter and trade in the Asian markets without much hassle. Thus Asia needs to develop investor friendly policies, effective securities processing market infrastructure and sophisticated clearing and settlement mechanisms in order to minimise securities settlement risk and complete securities trade in a timely & efficient manner. Therefore this marcus evans conference will be a meeting point for heads of operations, clearing & settlement and securities processing from banks, investment management firms and securities houses. They will discuss and debate on operational risk mitigation techniques, effective clearing and settlement of derivative products, strategies to overcome post-settlement challenges and the role of technology in developing Asian securities processing.
