Description
This report found that e-commerce now covers all asset classes, albeit in varying proportions: from a mere 10% in credit default swaps (CDS) to more than 85% in listed futures and options. E-commerce has moved far beyond trade execution. To be competitive, a bank’s offering must now cover the whole investment life-cycle — from pre-trade to post-trade and straight-through processing with prime services becoming the main entry point. The biggest challenge for the sell-side, in order to deliver the best platforms across functions and divisions, will be to switch from a product and asset class-centric approach to a client focus.
