DAY 2 | Tuesday, January 26
10:45 AM Track B: From Idea to Trade — What Investment Teams Actually Need from the Trading Desk
The desks gaining internal influence aren't just executing well — they're making the business case in language investment teams and CIOs understand. This session covers how the best desks close the gap between trading capability and recognition.
• How leading desks translate PM conviction into execution strategy without losing alpha in translation
• The metrics that resonate with CIOs and investment committees — and the ones that get tuned out
• How flexible infrastructure is letting desks serve a wider range of strategies without proportional headcount growth
• Positioning the desk as a genuine source of edge — and the internal narrative that makes it stick
