By: The Speed Traders On the panel titled 'Evolving Capital Market Dynamics: Volatility, Liquidity and High Frequency Trading,' Perez joined moderator Michael Mackenzie, Financial Times U.S. Markets Editor and fellow panelists Daniel Coleman, GETCO Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Jennings, Credit Suisse Global Head of Listed Derivatives, and Richard Prager, BlackRock Global Head of Trading and Capital Markets. During the discussion, Perez advocated for the availability of real-time information that would allow regulators to see everything occurring in the markets, no matter how quickly the order information is being posted and transactions are occurring. This would require significant commitments to invest in both human capital and information technology, but the investment is worthwhile: it is vital for regulators to level the playing field of high-frequency trading, concluded Perez. Keynote speakers for the GFLC included Sir Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin Group, and Condoleezza Rice, U.S. Secretary of State (2005-2009). Additional featured speakers include Madeleine Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State; James Carville, Political Strategist; Richard Kauffman, Senior Advisor to the U.S. Secretary of Energy; Ted Koppel, award-winning journalist; John Lipsky, First Deputy Managing Director, IMF (2006-2011); Karl Rove, former U.S. Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush; and Jimmy Wales, Founder, Wikipedia, and 2012 Fred Arditti Innovation Award Recipient. Additional information about the conference can be found at http://www.gflc.com.
