Highlights
IT strategy continues to be dominated by cost control as financial market institutions face ongoing margin pressure. While institutions are hesitant to pursue investment opportunities, technology-driven solutions are being seen as necessary to differentiate and gain competitive advantage amid tough conditions.

While MiFID (due April 2007) is an EU regulation, it has an effect on US institutions that have operations in any of the EU member states. By aiming for optimal transparency across all trading venues, the ruling gives firms a passport to trade by making it mandatory for a sell-side firm to state publicly prices for equities traded on its own book.

With the continued high level of algorithmic trading, brokers will need to find new and inventive ways of adding value (a changing of the value-chain model). There will also be added pressure to produce efficiency metrics for the buy side to differentiate between different algorithms from not only suppliers but also non-electronic methods.
