- Contains findings on investment priorities based on end-user research with 200 financial markets decision-makers
Highlights
Most capital markets and investment banking institutions saw a strong start to 2010, driven by strong fixed income and commodities markets. However, both markets weakened significantly in Q2 and Q3 due to market uncertainty and tighter spreads, with FICC also down for most institutions that have reported Q4 results so far
Regulatory compliance is a significant objective, but is not the top priority for most institutions. However, it has become stronger for the buy-side due to the relative growth of compliance burden (e.g. around KYC and AML) for 2011, with the sell-side seeing the brunt of regulatory pressure in recent years
