With the financial industry, regulators, academics and investors focused on both the benefits and potential risks of electronic trading, Edinburgh University Business School, The Museum of American Finance and The American-Scottish Foundation have brought together an exceptional panel to provide perspective on the impact of electronic trading on global markets, investors and the economy.
At a time when many believe financial markets are increasingly disconnected from economic fundamentals and investment performance is based on who has the fastest computers and access to exchanges, the panel will discuss the importance of creating a level playing field for investors, fragmentation and distortions in markets, and the risk of accelerated volatility during periods of market stress.
Come and join us at the prestigious Museum of American Finance for an evening of lively debate and discussion. The panel discussion will be followed by a drinks reception and an opportunity to network.
This is a ticketed event. To avoid disappointment please register to attend the event.
