- In what ways can technological progress enhance the identification of intricate market manipulation schemes?
- To what degree has the rise in trading platforms elevated the intricacy and scope of surveillance programs required for comprehensive coverage?
- What inherent flaws exist in relying on alerts generated by singleproduct manipulation when seeking cross-product manipulation, and why is this approach problematic?
Chairperson -
40 mins
- How can banks overcome the challenges in ensuring data quality for trade surveillance?
- How does the volume of data generated by banks pose a challenge, and what strategies can be implemented to process and analyse large amounts of data in real-time?
- What are the other complexities associated with the data used for trade surveillance, and how can banks integrate and analyse this data effectively?
Chairperson -

- What are the challenges banks are encountering when attempting to create a complete trader profile, and how can these be overcome?
- Does trader profiling have a value? And how can that value be quantified and explained to regulators?
- Are profiling tools being built within existing trade or comms surveillance platforms or are banks building behavioural surveillance tools themselves?

- To what extent has the proliferation of trading venues increased the complexity and depth of coverage needed by surveillance programmes?
- Should inter-venue trading manipulation be considered an equal risk to cross-product manipulation?
- Given recent regulatory focus on this area, is there now a need to review venue assessment, onboarding and ongoing management?
- How can new technologies help banks demonstrate comprehensive surveillance and coverage of all venues?
- How can surveillance functions ensure that they have a completeness of data across all venues?

- What has been the key driver of achieving comprehensive model risk management?
- Do trade surveillance SMEs have the necessary skills to manage the relationship with model risk management teams given the more qualitative nature of surveillance models compared to traditional quant areas such as valuations or algo trading?
- Does the effort involved with model governance change the typical build vs buy decision making process when considering new surveillance capabilities?
- How does onboarding to model governance impact the effectiveness of trade surveillance capabilities? Are the risk management benefits proportionate to the costs of meeting the required standards?
