Over the past year, FIF has begun to offer an expanding pallet of technology-based working groups for our members.  FIF rebranded the Market Data Capacity Committee to our Data & Technology Committee; allowing for an expansion of technology related working groups including  the Cybersecurity Working Group and the Cloud Technology Working Group, with additional technology-focused working groups coming soon. We urge our members to forward our registration page: https://fif.com/register to their technology teams, who might not normally come across FIF offerings. 

FIF is pleased to welcome back Equinix and Vela to the FIF Community.

This week on July 12th, FIF/SIFMA/STA will hold a deep dive discussion with the SROs on the topic of Riskless Principal/Representative Orders. 

FIF held our Quarterly Event last Wednesday, June 27th at UBS.  The event was a town hall discussion on Commoditization of Short Term Alpha, this format encouraged great audience participation and collaboration while the moderator, FIF Advisory Chair Tom Jordan and representatives from UBS and Exegy helped drive the discussion in the room. Additional topics of discussion solicited from audience members included: alternative data, cybersecurity, market data infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and effects on regulation. We would like to thank UBS and Exegy for sponsoring this event, and our panelists George Wolf of UBS and David Taylor of Exegy for an engaging discussion.
