Acuiti has launched the Proprietary Trading Management Insight Report, a new product aimed at senior executives from the global proprietary trading community.
The report, which is produced in partnership with Avelacom, is designed to provide senior proprietary executives with a benchmark of how their peers are approaching key operational challenges. It also contains information on a series of metrics such as exchange growth and new contract launches.
Acuiti has built and continues to grow a network of senior proprietary trading executives from across the globe. Each quarter, network members can suggest questions and topics to be addressed in the report. Acuiti then surveys the network to compile the report.
The first report features a deep-dive analysis of how proprietary trading firms are approaching the return to the office.
The report also publishes the newly launched Avelacom Exchange Growth Index, a quarter-on-quarter index of the fastest growing exchanges across derivatives and cash equities globally. Also included are profiles of the 25 most traded new derivatives contracts launched in the previous quarter.
In addition to the regular features, Acuiti will build metrics and benchmarks based on requests from members of the network. The first report includes a breakdown of global hiring trends based on job postings from 58 of the top firms globally and an index of the fastest growing proprietary trading firms by headcount, based on LinkedIn data.
The launch is the first in a series of focused reports that Acuiti is currently developing. In Q1 2022 it will launch a Crypto Derivatives report, as well as one for asset managers and FCMs.
Aleksey Larichev, CEO of Avelacom, says: “Proprietary trading firms have always been Avelacom’s stronghold for low latency connectivity and IT infrastructure solutions. Our partnership with Acuiti is an important way for us to stay abreast of the latest trends that affect this important client group. This will allow us to develop our product portfolio and to develop low latency routes that access those markets that are most in demand.”
