Do you have a KYC Data Strategy?

Reference data is part data and part strategy: where do you put the data, how is it maintained and accessed and how do you avoid different business units duplicating efforts, and spend:

  • You’ve procured your LEI, UTI and UPI data; where are you putting it?
  • Who is helping you to define the rules about it's use?
  • Are you using the same repository across all your business units?

Panelists:

Richard Storey, Head of KYC & On-boarding, Asia Pacific, Thomson Reuters

4:25 p.m. - 4:55 p.m.

Robo-advisors: what's now, what's new, what's next - and at what cost?

Review on market data for robo-advisors, non-display fees across different markets, asset classes  and distribution royalties; is everybody aware of the obligations? 

How will robos differentiate going forward: will it be by alignment with dealer groups for full service scalable advice solutions?  Will it be by offering differentiated active/strategic beta strategies? Will it be a race to zero on cost?

Panelists:

Sam Marshall, Manager, Wholesale Portfolio Products, IRESS Limited

Giovanni Ravone, Head of Innovation, Rubik

Andrew Whelan, Head of Advisor Solutions, Morningstar

4:55 p.m. - 5:35 p.m.

Cost Control is here to stay

Controlling costs has always been an objective.  But in the years since the financial crisis that mantra has been ever more to the fore. Eight years on what is the modern approach to cost control? Are there any new areas for cost control/spend recovery?  We discuss new techniques alongside the tried and tested.

Michelle Ansell, Global Head of Market Data, Macquarie

David Dubery, Director, European/APAC Operations, The Roberts Group
