NEW YORK & LONDON, May 25, 2011 – TabbFORUM announced today that it has introduced another in its continuing line-up of Spotlight Series, the newest on real-time clearing and market issues, technology and regulation specific solely to the post-trade clearing environment for the global securities marketplace.

According to Greg Crawford, editor at TabbFORUM, “Clearing’s days as a sleepy back-office function are long gone, thanks to more demanding portfolio managers, compliance officers, regulators and even investors. Throw in a global financial crisis and ever-increasing competition and you’ve got a world of change. Technology has kept up with the pace but the industry continues to rapidly evolve.”

The “Real-time Clearing” Spotlight Series is being underwritten by Cinnober Financial Technology, an independent technology provider with headquarters in Stockholm and an office in New York. Cinnober serves high-transaction marketplaces, clearinghouses and banks with extreme performance demands.

The new Spotlight Series has been created as a roadmap of sorts to the world of clearing in general, real-time clearing specifically, says Crawford. “Editorial content features articles, white papers, research, news and news releases covering the business of clearing.”

TabbFORUM’s Spotlight Series “shine a light” on critical topics in the capital markets industry. Highlighting strategically important areas of the market, they are designed to help market participants around the financial markets gain a better understanding of complex issues and assist them in making more informed decisions. Their editorial content showcases expertise and viewpoints from key industry participants, supplemented by TABB Group analysts through feature articles, videos, podcasts, research and other information. TabbFORUM members, now more than 7,500-strong, share comments, exchange ideas and contribute their own content, tracking comments generated daily by new articles posted.

TabbFORUM’s six Spotlights Series currently include “Innovations in Trading and Technology, “EU Regulatory Reform: MiFID II Review,” “OTC Derivatives Reform,” “Market Surveillance,” “Latency Matters” and “Real-time Clearing.”
