The need for rapid and effective trade execution, more market surveillance, and reduced costs, are likely to accelerate the need for the algorithmic trading market. Financial institutions already turn to algorithms to minimize the expense of bulk trading. Now algo trading is becoming a commonplace to execute trade orders at the best possible price and lower the likelihood of human error. In wake of these developments, the global algo trading market is projected to reach $31,494 million by 2028.
The chief drivers of this growth are the AI automation solutions. Automation streamlines the entire process, while AI and machine learning adds an extra intelligence twist. Essentially ML computer systems are trained to recognise market movements with impressive accuracy, helping algorithms to bid accordingly. By accessing and understanding large data sets, ML systems predicts future outcomes, enhance trading strategies and tweak portfolios accordingly.

This edition also features a thought leadership article from Niraj Gupta, Head Of Digital Banking at Cambodia Asia Bank; Denis Imaev, Managing Director, Head of Algorithmic Trading Development at Cantor Fitzgerald; Neil Platten, Head of Data and Analytics at Stanlib Asset Management; and Marc Ashworth, Senior VP, Chief Information Security Officer at First Bank.
