Excerpt

Trading technology has always been at the cutting edge of financial markets. As technology has evolved from carrier pigeons, to telegraphs, to microwave communications and beyond, traders have always been pioneers. Over the course of the last 100 years or so it is not an exaggeration to say we have progressed from the speed of flight to the speed of light as financial firms have continued to push the envelope of innovation.

The same is true on the execution desk, where sell-side firms have had to innovate to differentiate in a highly competitive market. In addition to competing with peers for order flow, sell-side brokers have seen their customers grow in sophistication over the last decade; asset managers and hedge funds have increasingly deployed advanced analytics, often recruiting expertise from the banks themselves. Where speed of execution had once been the battlefield for so long, advanced analytics is where the arms race has shifted.
