ISITC Europe has introduced a new post trade forum to bring together the post trade community across the capital markets to drive collaboration, share best practice and action changes to improve operational efficiency.
The forum represents the full spectrum of post trade users and will be led by post trade experts James Maxfield and Alastair Rutherford, managing directors of Ascendant Strategy.
The future of post trade is heavily reliant on technology adoption and innovation, but this can be challenging to achieve when organisations work in isolation.
The post trade community across the capital markets is now coming together to drive collaboration and share knowledge and ideas, ISITC Europe notes.
According to Maxfield, it can be hard for the post trade community to find time to devote to innovation given the pressures of the day job.
Maxfield explains: “Together with ISITC Europe we want to provide a platform for people to access ideas and best practice, in a way that helps to support them to address some of their challenges.”
Meanwhile, Rutherford notes that enabling post trade innovation is easy to say but challenging to execute on, to deliver value for capital markets firms.
“As chairs of the ISITC Europe Post Trade Forum we bring our significant experience and expertise in post trade to help drive forward real changes prescribed by ISITC Europe’s cross industry forum members,” Rutherford says.
Gary Wright, director of ISITC Europe CIC, adds: “We are delighted to welcome Ascendant Strategy as a new associate member and know that with their considerable experience and knowledge in post trade operation, James Maxfield and Alastair Rutherford will be an energising force for our post trade forum.”
ISITC Europe is a not-for-profit industry body with a thirty-year history of setting best practice standards. Ascendant Strategy is a boutique post trade consultancy that specialises in post trade strategy and transformation within capital markets.
