Trends in e-commerce and electronic trading

A new study by Best Execution (owned by Financial-i) and GreySpark Partners shows that the buyside are embracing electronic trading but the sellside needs to adopt a much more holistic approach to win the business.

E-commerce no longer just applies to the trading end of the spectrum but needs to be across the entire investment life cycle if banks want to maintain their edge. The biggest challenge for the sellside will be to switch from a product and asset class centric approach to a client focus in order to deliver the best platforms across functions and divisions.

Lynn Strongin-Dodds, Editor, Best Execution, comments “The financial industry has long required quality and precise research that identifies issues, trends and future forces in e-commerce, supported with industry expertise. GreySpark has delivered cutting-edge research aimed to help firms respond to the growing demand for multi-asset e-commerce offerings from their clients. The finished paper, the first of many in a series of reports, is clearly presented, and will demonstrate the startling misconceptions in the industry, along with the projected importance of e-commence on the financial industry as a whole”.
