The costs of mitigating risk and meeting compliance regulations such as Basel II and Sarbanes-Oxley, has been immense. In particular, 2007 represents a challenge as both Basel II and Europe’s Markets in Financial Instruments directive, MiFID, hit the streets. MiFID is but one of the 42 directives changing the face of Europe through the financial services action plan. With the single payment market being another major hurdle to overcome. In addition there’s the Giovannini’s 15 barriers to creating an integrated securities market, the UK’s Treating Customers fairly from the FSA and so many more.

The key purpose of RRC 2008 is to demonstrate through an up-to-the-minute and expert seminar programme how investment in technology can be regarded not as a cost but, through best execution, as a way of adding value and achieving optimal ROI and competitive advantage across an enterprise. There will also be the opportunity to network and attend one-one-one meetings with the most innovative solutions providers.

Delegates attending will include senior executives and industry leaders from exchanges, universal banks, investment banks, asset management firms, hedge/mutual funds and broker/dealers (securities firms) and insurance companies.
