Institutional trading and portfolio management continue to change rapidly, with algorithmic trading accounting for more and more order flow and the search for sources of liquidity picking up steam. According to recent studies, soon DMA will represent 38% of total buy-side order flow and algorithmic trading will double to 27% of US equity orders. In addition, today’s sophisticated portfolio management techniques are requiring equally sophisticated computer models and support mechanisms.

This conference is your opportunity to hear the latest technology strategies employed by the buyside to take advantage of these powerful tools, as well as understand the challenges and solutions in applying these tools to various instruments in different environments. The topics, selected with input from FMW's clients, include:

   Be Aware of and How Can They Be Exploited?
t Why Speed Matters—Using High-Speed Market Connections to
   Improve Execution Quality
