Keeping Abreast Of An Evolving FX Landscape

Wednesday, February 1st, 2017


14:00 Oxford Style Debate: Agency vs. Principal: Will there always be the need for a principal broker in FX or are they a dying breed?

Both regulation and e-trading has changed the buy side perception of the sell side value proposition. As banks become more restricted on the risk they can take in FX markets, more agency like models have come to the fore. This contentious debate will provide both sides of the argument on what model is best suited for your trading operations. Attend this debate and decide for yourself:
  • Is it now much more efficient for banks to act as agency and execute trades for clients, or is the principal model still the most reliable form of trading?
  • Does increasingly electronic markets mean agency like models are inevitable in FX, or will principal based models remain the dominant form of trading?
  • Will there always be the need for a principal broker in FX or are they a dying breed?
  • Do the advantages of e-trading such as improved reliability outweigh the disadvantages such as the loss of the human touch in FX trading?
