MindTree understands the fundamental changes wrought by the integration of worldwide financial markets and the accompanying exponential growth in product innovation, volume, and volatility. Quicker trade, faster settlement, and near real-time risk management demand significant changes in IT and IT-supported infrastructure. There have been several recent developments in alternative trading systems, electronic communications networks, direct market access, and Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). Additionally, increased vigilance from regulatory authorities necessitates development of a very different IT environment - one that can support investment banking, investment management, derivative and alternative investment service providers, market data feed providers, and the stock exchange business.
