KUALA LUMPUR: UBS will be organising its annual trading symposium here next week, bringing together the best in class speakers to share best practices, technology, and global knowledge to high-calibre asset managers in Malaysia.

The Swiss-based multinational investment banking and securities firm said the event, at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Sept 3, will be a golden opportunity for investors to learn how to increase beta returns (including lowering trading costs), diversify across asset class and capitalise on opportunities in Malaysia and beyond.

The first session of the symposium will explore the current global trends in which the panels will dive into leveraging technology, beta solutions, and traditional investing to generate steady returns out of an investor’s portfolio. Besides that the same session will look into some of the challenges for investors in the market today, and study how experienced international investors are tackling these issues.

Panels for the first session include UBS managing director and global head of market structure and liquidity strategy Vlad Khandros as well as executive director and the group’s APAC head of direct execution services David Rabinowitz, and MSCI head of Southeast Asia client coverage Alvin Lee.

Attendees of the symposium will get the chance to learn from UBS executive director Abhishek Mohla, UBS Futures deputy general manager and head of sales and trading Serena Chen as well as UBS head of APAC equities sales trading Dan Murphy and APAC head of equity finance sales Elizabeth Miller during their presentation and dialogue sessions. Some of the topics that will be covered include liquidity landscape and market structure trends, blocks and synthetic access, the evolution of ecommerce, China indexation, beta benchmarking, passive trading trends and quant solutions, and microstructure analysis, deconstructing execution cost and enhancing algo performance.
