Getting to Remote Communication
Abstract
March Madness: Month 1 of Covid-19
A brief look at the end of the beginning from a trading and communication perspective. A look at how trading firms reacted to moving out of offices and DR sites into staff's homes. A look at the challenges and tools for communicating while trading volumes exploded. An overview of what happened and how firms went from front office trading floors to living room based trading at a time of gut wrenching volatility across asset classes.
We explore:
The Coronavirus lock down was not part of firm's contingency planning-how did capital market firms react?
What are they doing to communicate?
How did firms that made the most investment in digital trading fare?
Where are remote collaboration tools going?
