One of the most highly demanded topics uncovered during the research for TradeTech FX USA was based around the WM FIX controversies. After the recent scandals there is a lot of talk about the WM FIX and the 4pm close, as well as issues around chat rooms and swaps. The key question for the industry is can they start to embrace new ways to execute on the FIX, and should the industry move away from the WM as a whole. This high level panel is a must attend where you will find out:

• Are there major issues using the WM as a single source on a regular basis or are we now beyond the recent scandals?
• Should the WM FIX be used as a benchmarking tool for currency execution, or should the industry start look at alternative benchmarking strategies?
• Should there be a new way for the benchmark providers to provide prices or is the WM FIX a reliable benchmarking source?
• Should the industry as a whole be changing the way to execute foreign exchange or is the current model the best execution strategy?
