  13. August Market Crisis • U.S. subprime mortgage-related worries had been around for a while, but snowballed in August, sending credit and stock markets around the globe into disarray, hurting risk appetite and leading to the Federal Reserve’s so far 75 basis points interest rate cut • It was a busy, challenging and exciting time to be writing about financial markets. Each day the story changed - sometimes several times within the one day. Markets were extremely volatile. Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  14. How we covered markets in August • Provided 24-hour, global coverage and analysis of a constantly evolving story. • Delivered “scoops” as the credit crisis unfolded in the U.S. and in places like the UK and Australia. Far ahead on Aussie FX intervention, Adelaide Bank rumor denial • Focused on how funds and banks were coping. Looked for points of tension in credit markets. • Detailed analysis of the effects on stocks, currencies, bonds, derivatives, energy and commodities. Frequent pan-Asian market update stories • Flows – where is the money coming from? And where is it going? • Market columns from experienced writers Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  15. Market Columns • Volatility Mark II To Be Courtesy Of China? 30 August 2007 With all eyes on the U.S. economy and the fallout from housing sector weakness, some are starting to wonder when the next shoe may drop - and where. • Widespread Selling A Stock Picking Opportunity 29 August 2007 For all the lip service paid to decoupling, stock traders in Asia certainly don't seem to be willing to put their money behind the concept. • A Fresh Headwind But Not The Beginning Of The End 28 August 2007 Asia's stock markets and currencies have a big headwind Wednesday in the form of a slump on Wall Street, but this latest wobble doesn't mean we are yet living in extraordinary times. • Hey Mate, What's The Hurry With The Carry Trade? 23 August 2007 Risk aversion is slowly receding, pulling the yen back down with it, and the gap between interest rates in Japan and overseas is still tantalizingly large. • Check The Money Supply Speedometer Too 15 August 2007 Any boy racer will tell you that it's not just the size that matters, it's also the speed. And so it is with high octane money supply in Asia where economies are also in top gear. • Investors May Find Value Among CDO Wreckage 5 August 2007 As a lot of dust continues to be kicked up around the U.S. subprime and structured credit markets, and specifically the collateralized debt obligation market, it's understandable that investors are fleeing without much discretion.

  18. Outlook For Asian Markets • Global economy still in good shape, but U.S. housing slowdown hurting U.S. • Debate on whether Asia is decoupling • Fed’s Sept 75bp cut both insurance policy, preemptive measure. • Further easing not assured. The question remains the health of the U.S. consumer. Stagflation appears highly unlikely. Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  19. Outlook For Asian Markets • Our general view: less sophisticated financial markets a positive, Asia to outperform on fundamentals • “User-friendly” risky assets such as equities to benefit most from fund outflows from CDOs, ABS, etc. Fund flows to Asia set to continue. • Relative-value strategies, rather than directional exposure, preferred for most asset classes, especially fixed income Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  20. Outlook For Asian Markets Foreign Exchange Market: - Further USD weakening after G7 meeting but dollar may reassert strength in 2H08. • USD fall likely more pronounced vs Asian units, on stronger local fundamentals, currency appreciation hopes: intervention risks remain though central banks may tolerate some currency gains. • G7 singling out China on the yuan. Periodic rumors of one-off revaluation but this seems unlikely. Given strong economic data, though, China may let the yuan rise faster. Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  21. Outlook For Asian Markets Fixed Income Market: • Generally bearish in Asia over local-currency bonds, high-grade credits. Cautiously bullish over high-yielders. • Directional bets extremely risky given policy uncertainty. Curve trades, swap spread plays preferred. Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  22. Outlook For Asian Markets Stock Markets: • Fund inflows have led to repeated record highs in Korea, HK, India, Australia and Singapore • Considerable amount of demand from real money coming from structured debt markets • Valuation concerns growing, especially in China. What happens if the China bubble bursts? Beijing’s policy response is key, here • Room for further Asian rallies though investment may become more selective near term • Techs cutting capex which may help that sector Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  23. Outlook For Asian Markets China: • Economy still in robust shape, inflation in uptrend but may slow 2H08: at least 1-2 hikes in interest rates, RRR before end of 1Q08 • No major breakthrough for CNY regime: 5% annual appreciation rate remains consensus • Shanghai stocks expected to set new highs, 8,000 within reach: liquidity, liquidity, liquidity • More financial sector reforms. Derivatives to play bigger role • Focus on sovereign wealth fund, corporate expansion overseas Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  29. The Changing Industry Landscape Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  30. The Evolving Global Landscape Ever increasing pressure to cut costs and increase operational efficiencies Increased regulatory pressures with the introduction of Reg NMS in the US and MiFID in Europe Changes in global market structure, the demutualisation and consolidation of exchanges as they become for-profit entities and the growing number of alternative trading venues The growing popularity of algorithmic trading, DMA and the increasing search for ‘dark’ liquidity Increased electronic trading across multiple asset classes throughout the trade lifecycle Skyrocketing market data volumes generated by ever increasing trading volumes and regulatory initiatives Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  31. The Australian market • Widespread usage of IRESS which has grown as a predominantly domestic system • Market structure still focused around a central exchange • Liquidity issues driving increased demand for investment offshore, particularly into Asia • Also growing focus from non-Australian domiciled business on investment into Australia • Developing use of algorithmic trading and ‘dark’ liquidity pools driving volumes • Rapid increase of international trade and market data flow into and out of Australia • Need for a common messaging standard that is inter-operable between buy and sell side, service and market data providers across all countries Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  32. What is FIX? Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  33. FIX – the Enabler FIX is the enabling technology for electronic trading. A common standard for transmitting trade information and data A specification of what and how to communicate A document, not a piece of software, network, or a service The protocol is truly open, specs are freely available to the public Multi-asset, industry-driven – now covers equities, derivatives, fixed income and foreign exchange markets Evolving – market participants suggest changes to FIX and use it to run their businesses • FIX organisation and process is very pragmatic • Focused on meeting “real world’ needs in an efficient, community driven model Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  35. The Benefits of Using FIX FIX is a common, international language Virtually every major stock exchange and investment bank uses FIX for electronic trading, as do the world's largest mutual funds and money managers and thousands of smaller investment firms.

  37. FIX Adapted for Streaming (FAST) ProtocolSM

  38. The FAST ProtocolSM The FIX Adapted for STreaming (FAST) ProtocolSM was developed by the FPL Market Data Optimisation Working Group in response to the skyrocketing trading volumes that have emerged from the growing popularity of automated and algorithmic trading. FAST Specification 1.1, the version recommended for adoption by the FPL Market Data Optimisation Working Group was launched in January 2007 The FAST ProtocolSM is a data compaction methodology that optimises communication in the electronic exchange of financial data, radically reducing message size and bandwidth utilisation, without negatively impacting latency It has been designed specifically for the high-volume securities markets. FAST thrives on large quantities of data that share similarities in content and structure, presenting significant opportunities for the global capital markets Sydney Local Meeting - 5 November 2007

  39. The FAST ProtocolSM The FAST ProtocolSM has many uses, in addition to presenting a solution within the market data arena; it may also be applied to other areas demanding high compression and low latency communication such as high frequency trading, Direct Market Access and exchange interfaces A number of leading industry players participated in the FAST ProtocolSM proof of concept testing which generated some very positive results and the FAST Protocol is now being actively explored and implemented by a number of market centres globally.
