LMAX Exchange Head of Systems, Dr Andrew Phillips, took part in a panel discussion “Low Latency Is it worth IT?â€. This panel focused on the expanding debate relating to investment in infrastructure for trading in different markets, and whether there is ROI justification. The discussion was timely as automated trading moves into complex multi-leg strategies and new asset classes, such as FX, Fixed Income and Derivatives.
Please find the panel discussion highlights below or watch the video.
- Who justifies the investment and makes decisions with regard to low-latency infrastructure costs?
- Is the latency reduction in the FX market as extreme as we have seen in equities over the last couple of years?
- What are the benefits and challenges of cloud based/hosted services for latency improvement?
- How do you integrate coming regulatory changes into such a competitive environment as low-latency trading?
