From breaking news stories to forward-looking analytical pieces, Securities Industry News covers the technology involved in the securities processing chain from pre-trade analytics to post-trade clearance and settlement. By providing context and analysis to our news coverage, Securities Industry News strikes a distinctive note and supports knowledge sharing and open dialogue among broker-dealers, investment banks, asset managers and hedge funds.

Securities Industry News will continue to track the evolution and reinvention of the industry as its historical structures collide and integrate with new technological concepts and operational innovations. Among the key trends to which SIN is applying its news-gathering and analytical expertise as they unfold are:

  1. Electronic Trading, encompassing algorithmic, direct market access and related tools and systems.
  2. Market Consolidation, concentration and globalization, typified by recent New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq acquisitions and mergers among the cross-border marketplaces of Europe.
  3. Messaging and Transaction Capacity issues among U.S. and overseas exchanges, alternative trading venues and participating institutions.
  4. Electronic Execution and Ultimately End-to-End Automation in non-equity asset classes such as futures, options, swaps, fixed-income and foreign exchange--as well as systems for cross-asset investment strategies.
  5. Regulatory Compliance: The technology, systems and processes needed to manage a host of U.S. and overseas regulatory reforms, including new mutual fund rules, hedge funds regulation, Regulation NMS, Sarbanes-Oxley, the anti-money-laundering provisions of the Patriot Act, and the European Union Markets in Financial Instruments Directive.
  6. The Growth of Cross-Border Investment and how it is prompting divergence and convergence of regulatory, technological and operational decisions across Europe and Asia-Pacific.
  7. Enterprise IT Strategy: The continued migration and retooling of back-office infrastructures to a new generation of distributed computing (encompassing applications integration, service-oriented architectures, grid and utility computing)
