SDXC Switch & Data Facilities Company (MM)

Switch and Data (NASDAQ: SDXC), a leading provider of network-neutral data center and Internet exchange services, today announced its “After Fragmentation: Execution Strategies for Dynamic Markets” industry panel event, which will address the challenges facing markets, sell-side, and buy-side firms in today’s changing Canadian capital markets. The event will be held at the St. Andrew’s Club in Toronto from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on April 14. Laurie Berke, Principal at TABB Group, will moderate a panel of industry experts from Alpha Trading Systems, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BMO Capital Markets, Chi-X Canada, CIBC World Markets, CNSX, Liquidnet Canada, ITG Canada and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan.

The event features two panels, which will examine the challenges surrounding liquidity fragmentation in Canada:

• The first panel, “The Markets” will discuss the trends and differentiators across the market venues, implications for banks and brokers and why fragmentation matters to buy-side traders.
• The second panel, “The Brokers” looks at the marketplace from the brokers’ perspective. This session will focus on technology and examine how the sell-side is responding to issues like sponsored access, high frequency trading (HFT), connectivity, algorithms, smart order routers (SORs) and better ways to service the needs of the buy-side in today’s fragmented marketplace.

“Our capital markets strategy events get right to the heart of what matters to the buy- and sell- sides. Right now, we are looking at what matters to the Canadian financial services marketplace – fragmentation,” said John Panzica, Vice President, Financial Services Practice for Switch and Data. “Like New York, Toronto is at the heart of the financial services industry and is experiencing the same type fragmentation as the United States and Europe. These accelerating changes are due to industry regulations, business model enhancements, and technology. These elements are increasing competition and the emphasis on low latency across the value chain.”

Panzica will host the event with panelists including: Randee B. Pavalow, Head of Operations and Legal, Alpha Trading Systems; Bryan Blake, Vice President, Global Execution Services, Bank of America Merrill Lynch; Doug Clark, Managing Director, BMO Capital Markets; Thomas Kalafatis, Executive Director, CIBC World Markets; Dan Kessous, Chief Operating Officer, Chi-X Canada; Richard Carleton, Vice President Corporate Development CNSX Markets Inc.; Ian Williams, Managing Director, Trading and Sales, ITG Canada; Robert Young, Chief Executive Officer, Liquidnet Canada, Eric Stoop, Chairman of the Board, Omega ATS; and representatives from the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. Other panelists will be announced leading up to the event.

“I am looking forward to moderating a panel of leaders at the forefront of the Canadian capital markets at this event,” stated Laurie Berke, Principal at TABB Group, the capital markets research and advisory firm. “Liquidity fragmentation is happening quickly in Canada, and we will examine the ways it is impacting the market from multiple perspectives. This event will be very helpful for buy- and sell- side professionals interested in learning how these market structure changes will impact their businesses and their relationships.”

The event will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the St. Andrew’s Club, which is located at 150 King Street West, 27th Floor, Sun Life Tower, Toronto, Ontario. Panel discussions will run from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Corporate sponsors of the event include: Chi-X Canada, CIBC World Markets, CNSX, Hibernia Atlantic, Hudson Fiber Network, IPC, ITG Investment Technology Group, Markets Media, RCN Metro, Reliance Globalcom, Streambase and TABB Group. TABB Group will also unveil its newly published commentary “Canadian Market Structure: New Dynamics in Trade Execution and Liquidity Access” at the event.
