SEC and NYU to Host Sept. 21 Forum on High-Frequency Trading and Liquidity Resiliency

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Economic and Risk Analysis and Division of Trading and Markets are partnering with New York University's Salomon Center for the Study of Financial Institutions to bring together regulators, practitioners, and academics for a half-day symposium on Sept. 21 at the SEC headquarters in Washington, D.C. Panelists will discuss the impact of high-frequency trading and the resiliency of liquidity in securities markets. "High-frequency trading represents a substantial source of market volume today. It is important for market participants and regulators to understand how this activity is affecting trading, including efficiency, integrity, liquidity and depth," said Chairman Jay Clayton.
