The true power of low latency for Europe’s MTF’s

Last Thursday was one of those days where you wake up knowing it’s going to be a good one and you go to bed realising that it was … for some that is, but not for everyone. In my case, I was up with the birds to get into the City and chair a conference…

Sir Fred and that pension

I've kept away from commenting too much about Sir Fred Goodwin's pension furore that has been the major media story in the UK for the past week because: (a) it's old news;(b) it's just a distraction from the real news;(c) if it was my pension, I'd keep it;(d) Fred's got the pension, legally, and he's…

What should the government do?

I was pleased to be invited to submit some articles to the Parliamentary Brief over the past few months.  At the very least I hope that it gives us some conduit into the corridors of Whitehall. The trouble is that it's hard to write something.  After all it is far easier to critique the government's…

The new EU regulator and liquidity risk

The de Larosière Group published a report on EU financial supervision yesterday.  The report covers lots of stuff about liquidity risk, regulation and supervision, including the rejection of any need for a single European regulator (ECB won’t like that one) and the strengthening of the current key authorities: CEBS, CEIOPS and CESR.
