The Business of being a Stock Market: What will the Next Decade Bring?
The global competitive landscape for trading and listing equities – and alternative assets – has changed significantly, molded by the positive forces of competition. What should the industry, investors and public companies expect in the next decade?
Robert Greifeld has led NASDAQ during a time of sweeping change and has focused the NASDAQ mission on being the premier equities market in the world.
In April of 2005, NASDAQ announced its intent to acquire INET, an advanced trading platform that will allow NASDAQ to compete more effectively with other U.S. and international market centers. In particular NASDAQ is focused on increasing its share of trading in NYSE-listed securities.
NASDAQ is the first U.S. fully electronic stock market and one of the most recognized brands in the world.
Come hear Robert Greifeld share his vision for NASDAQ and listen to his views on the future of the U.S. and global equities markets. |
| NASDAQ is the largest electronic screen-based equity securities market in the United States. With approximately 3,200 companies, it lists more companies and, on average, trades more shares per day than any other U.S. market. It is home to companies that are leaders across all areas of business including technology, retail, communications, financial services, transportation, media and biotechnology. |
