Risk USA: handling the consequences of reform
Flagship risk event focuses on the post-crisis regulatory universe
This week in New York, over 200 risk management professionals from across the US and around the world gathered at the Marriott Marquis for the 21st annual Risk USA conference.
Discussions focused on the swathe of regulatory reforms brought in since the financial crisis, and on how their implementation will affect the markets. Federal authorities are likely to take a hands-off attitude to two key areas: high-frequency trading and support for central counterparties.
Meanwhile, senior regulators acknowledged the need to keep abreast of changes in risk management practice: the growing use of XVAs and the introduction of speculative position limits will both receive attention in the months ahead. And while new rules are likely to remove the capital advantage swap futures carry, the effort to bring innovation to the swaps market through agency trading has not been a success, the conference heard.
