Closing remarks and networking
Investment research industry is going through a major paradigm shift. Murky pricing and conflict of interest brought the research industry under scrutiny from the investors and regulators. This resulted in MiFID II regulation that among other things requires to explicitly price and separate research costs from trading costs.
Research procurement is now moving onto centralized platforms, bringing greater transparency and competition among providers. This new business model is disrupting the industry and will be put under magnifying glass and discussed in the upcoming Fintech Open Mic Night.
Please join us to get a birds-eye view of investment research marketplace, impact on both sell-side & buy-side and to learn about the challenges and opportunities brought by MiFID II. You will also have an opportunity to meet and network with like minded individuals who just like you are passionate about the Fintech industry.
