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.
