Goals / Remit
FIA EPTA is an association of European principal traders formed in June 2011 under the auspices of the Futures Industry Association (FIA). FIA EPTA represents more than 25 principal trading firms which, on a combined basis, are responsible for significant volumes of trading in many asset classes on European regulated markets and multilateral trading facilities (MTFs).
FIA EPTA members engage in automated, manual and hybrid methods of trade generation and execution encompassing a wide variety of strategies. They use algorithmic and high frequency trading techniques to trade and to provide liquidity to global markets.
Given that nearly all modern-day professional market participants, including brokers, pension funds and other asset managers use algorithmic trading in one way or another, we expect automated trading in the market to grow over time along with the sophistication of market participants. We therefore engage with policy makers to help establish broad principles to capture the universe of automation risk, which we believe is preferable to narrow prescriptive parameters based on a latest given technology.
FIA EPTA members trade their own capital. As such, they have every incentive to implement robust risk controls to prevent disorderly trading or market abuse. Accordingly, our members support robust requirements for systems controls and are continuously working to improve approaches to risk management and to make financial markets more secure overall.
The mission of FIA EPTA is to support transparent, robust and safe markets with a level playing field for all market participants. In considering and formulating its positions with regard to key regulatory proposals, the group draws on a wealth of expertise and detailed knowledge of the markets from its experienced and sophisticated membership.Main EU files targeted
