About 75% of participants attending the FundsTech Forum held in London today agreed that market data costs are excessive, highlighting a significant concern within the industry.
Meanwhile, another survey revealed contrasting views on digital disruption. While 52% of attendees “strongly agree” that digital disruption is impacting the industry, 43% said they “feel little” if any digital disruption is impacting the industry.
According to the survey findings, while many acknowledge the importance of digital changes, there’s a significant portion that remains skeptical or unphased by its implications.
