Plato Partnership Limited ("Plato Partnership"), a not-for-profit company comprising the largest global asset managers and broker dealers, has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Imperial College Business School to establish and lead a European Market Structure research network.
Led by Dr Andrei Kirilenko, Director of the Centre for Global Finance and Technology, the initiative will build and grow a network to facilitate independent academic research across the full breadth of the European market structure debate. In January 2018 the market faced the largest regulatory overhaul in a decade.
Combining academic rigour with institutional knowledge and data from the largest market participants is a global first that would allow for the in-depth analysis of consolidated data sets usually not available to academics. It is expected that top quality research and analysis around this extremely detailed data, especially on so-called “dark trading” in European equities, will provide the analytical foundation for appropriate market structures in Europe and beyond.
