Exchange leaders see a greening future in derivatives
Helen Bartholomew - Risk.net (SUBSCRIPTION)
The derivatives world is being reshaped by ESG - environmental, social and governance issues - of all things. And the changes will take decades. That was the message at the Futures Industry Association (FIA) IDX event last week in London, where exchange heads said they were responding to a clamour for investments with environmental and ethical bona fides, priorities that will alter the business over the next 10 years.

Andrew Ramonas - Bloomberg (SUBSCRIPTION)
Wall Street's victory securing new broker conflict-of-interest rules at the SEC is by no means final. The regulatory overhaul directing brokers to act in their customers' "best interest" faces potential challenges in the courts, Congress, and inside the Securities and Exchange Commission itself, if a Democrat takes control after the 2020 elections.

But despite spending billion on technology upgrades ranging from fintech partners to blockchain initiatives, JPMorgan's investment banking clients don't necessarily want the firm to be a tech company, Huw Richards, the bank's head of digital investment banking, said on Monday.
Instead, clients are looking for "a technology-enabled partner," said Richards.
