Jerome Kemp

In our latest MarketVoice Podcast, Walt Lukken, President and CEO talks with former FIA Chairman Jerome Kemp about the movement towards real-time settlement in the derivatives industry. Kemp, the former global head of futures, clearing, and FX prime brokerage at Citi and currently president of post-trade solutions provider Baton Systems, noted that the global cleared derivatives markets continue to prove resilient and efficient on the whole. However, he notes that over the last few decades the industry has largely focused on the execution side, without properly addressing delays, risks and some bottlenecks when it comes to settlement. "You can execute in essentially real time, and when it comes to settling a trade or moving margin you're looking at at least 24 hours," Kemp said. "The implications of that are massive."

Dr. Mara Antonoff, Associate Professor of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center, talks to FIA Board Member Jamila Piracci about her practical approach to inclusive recruitment that can be put into practice regardless of industry or sector. Speaking about recruitment themes very similar to those in the financial services industry, Dr. Antonoff explains how her recruitment process overcomes blind spots and implicit biases, resulting in an increased number of bright, accomplished and talented trainees from distinct backgrounds and experiences that better represent the diversity of patients they serve. “This is the start, but our work does not stop the moment someone gets their foot in the door,” Dr. Antonoff says, adding that “Conversations like this are important - we can learn from different fields, and we can share transferable experiences.”
