Here’s an overview of the episode:

How does one build a content-centric business and stay relevant more than 20 years later? We’re not talking about an industry behemoth here. We’re talking about a relatively small agency that must have been doing something right for it to thrive through the turmoil of the past two decades. Angela Wilbraham believes that the secret lies in being aware of how things are shifting and being open to change.

That is how she took the A-Team Group to success on top of success amidst all the changes in the content marketing industry. Angela may have played a huge part in making sure her company successfully faces every hurdle, but she doesn’t take all the credit for herself. Instead, she shows us just how important her team was in everything they have achieved so far. After all, if you’re leading an A-Team, you’re missing out if you’re not maximizing everything they have to offer. Join this conversation and learn how Angela makes all of this possible.

While the rule goes back 18 years and hasn’t been enforced to any great extent, the amended version has serious implications for both buy-side and sell-side firms, although exactly what those implications will be remains to be seen as the SEC has not yet published final guidance.

A panel session at A-Team Group’s recent FRTB briefing in London discussed these options and choices, focusing on the requirements of the Internal Model Approach (IMA) and the Standardised Approach (SA) and discussing their differing data demands, what each model means for capital requirements, and the impact it could make on products and trading desks. Diving into the detail of the models, particularly the IMA, the panel considered how to source all the internal and external data required for compliance, such as historical time series data for price observation associated with non-modellable risk factors (NMRFs), and high quality reference data for instrument classifications and market data to enrich trade data sets.

While FRTB compliance was described by one panellist as a ‘massive data management exercise’, the conversation also turned to the potential benefits of compliance, with another noting ‘If you are a large bank, the IMA is a huge data management burden, but the ability to normalise and link data together will extend way beyond FRTB compliance’.

Barnby was joined on the panel by Stewart Calvy, business development manager at Gilbraltar Blockchain Exchange; David Nicol, digital assets at R3; Sebastian Higgs, director, business development at Vo1t Digital Custodian; and Gaspard Coudurier, ERP director at BSO Network Solutions.

The session kicked off with an audience poll that showed 53% of delegates saying they were very sceptical about crypto assets. It ended with a similar poll question that showed a very small reduction in the percentage of delegates saying, ‘all scepticism has been blown away, we will look into crypto trading’.

Bearing the first poll result in mind, the panel considered how trading crypto is different from trading other asset classes, what problems it presents in terms of technology, and how regulation is affecting time to market and causing hesitancy moving forward.

Listen to this podcast, brought to you from A-Team Group’s TradingTech Summit in London on February 27, 2019, to hear more on the state of play in the crypto world, how financial institutions are approaching crypto trading, and how trading might expand in future.

Born also discussed post-financial crisis protectionism and the influx of regulation and sanctions that followed, causing yet more complexity, despite industry desire for simplification. On Brexit, Born noted continuing lack of clarity and banks’ preparations for the worst case scenario of a no-deal Brexit that will take the UK out of the EU single market. She described the potential, but also the limits, of equivalence, bilateral and multilateral agreements with the EU, and the role of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) after Brexit.
