The Full FX Unfiltered

In the latest Unfiltered video, Colin Lambert has a very enjoyable chat with Lisa Dukes, UK private sector representative on the Global Foreign Exchange Committee and chair of the GFXC’s Motivation for Adherence Working Group, about the committee’s outreach efforts and its push into the buy side.

Dukes updates on new initiatives from the Working Group, notably collaborations with other bodies and the launch of the Knowledge Hub for firms for whom FX may not be a primary function. She also talks about a push into new geographies and market segments, as well as what the GFXC provides to help firms still considering adoption actually achieve that end.

The two also discuss the importance of firms understanding the concept of proportionality, how adherence is continuing to grow, where firms can incorporate the Code into their existing policies and procedures, as well as the challenge of engagement with the hedge fund sector in particular.

The conversation closes out by looking at the challenge from ESG work, specifically the focus on the ‘E’ rather than the ‘G’, but also notes the increased awareness – something that seems apparent, but is difficult to actually track!
