Launching a High Frequency Trading Firm and Understanding the Current Market Trends in FX, Fixed Income and Futures

Event | 03.02.10, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC

Starting your own high frequency trading firm is not easy. Where do you begin? Legal matters are a significant piece of the puzzle and rapidly consume time and money. Technology and infrastructure decisions are the cornerstone for success and the consequences of poor decision making can be devastating. The need to establish a relationship with a prime broker, clearing firm, executing counterparty and relevant ECN/exchange can be a daunting and capital intensive task. Spending time on legal, technology and trading relationships takes away from valuable time that can otherwise be devoted to trading.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
