This is the first FN 40 Under 40 Rising Stars of Trading and Technology, Financial News’ editorial pick of the brightest up-and-coming men and women in the industry.
The European trading and technology landscape stands at a critical juncture. New rules, including the review of the markets in financial instruments directive and the European market infrastructure regulation, promise to transform both trading and risk management.
At the same time, commercial pressures are driving consolidation, such as the landmark merger between NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Börse and the combination of Chi-X Europe and Bats Europe, and more deals are likely to come. These tie-ups reflect the urgent need to globalise, achieve economies of scale and diversify income streams in a world of declining equity trading volumes.
Together, these developments are redefining the game in European markets and beyond, creating both threats and opportunities for market participants.
The 40 listed here are embracing, and in some cases are helping to direct, these developments. The list not only includes brokers, traders and individuals hailing from the exchange sector, but also policy advisers, lawyers and analysts who are working to enable the industry to understand, predict and strategise for the new regulatory landscape.
As well as reflecting this focus on impending reform, the selection process of these 40 rising stars reflects the growing importance of post-trade services, the industry’s need for insight and analysis through a time of prolonged uncertainty and not forgetting the
ever-present battle for cutting edge technological knowhow. With five technologists, two software entrepreneurs, and the founder of the much-feted ‘Twitter fund’, the technological innovators are clearly represented on the list.
Tempting as it might be to dismiss the individuals here as nerds and workaholics, the truth is more depressing: the list comprises marathon-runners, a junior ice hockey coach, a martial arts expert and a theology student to name but a few.
– How we chose
Over the past three months, Financial News canvassed the market for opinion and drew up a longlist of more than 100 potential rising stars. All nominees had to be under 40 on September 5, based in Europe, the Middle East or Africa and working in trading and technology. Candidates were then assessed by FN’s editorial panel on four criteria: achievements to date given their age, the stature of their mentors, firepower at their disposal and their potential to reach a position of great influence. The longlist was then whittled down to the final 40 listed here.
