Financial Markets Standards Board (FMSB) is pleased to announce that Asita Anche, Head of Systematic Market Making, Risk Centralization & Data Science at Barclays, has taken on the role of Chair of its Electronic Trading and Technology Committee (ETTC).
The ETTC brings together senior practitioners from across FMSB Member firms to examine how developments in electronic trading and technology are shaping behaviour and risk in wholesale markets and develops Standards, Good Practice guidance and Spotlight Reviews to support fair and effective trading practices. Recent publications include a Spotlight Review providing a practitioner-focused examination of the rapidly evolving use of artificial intelligence in electronic trading systems and associated risks.
Asita Anche said:
“I’m delighted to be chairing FMSB’s Electronic Trading and Technology Committee. The Committee’s recent publication on the application of AI in wholesale markets illustrates just how valuable FMSB is as a forum for convening experts from across markets to share their perspectives on complex areas of wholesale market activity and the common challenges we face. Technological innovation in markets presents significant opportunities, but ensuring human oversight, strong controls, and clear accountability will be essential to sustaining fair and effective markets as the use of these technologies continues to evolve. I look forward to progressing the Committee’s work on AI in areas such as the application of model risk management frameworks to electronic trading algorithms, among others.”
