Our approach
CMCRC's Finance Research Centre assesses impact and relationship of the five "key elements" (regulation, information, participants, instruments, technology) and structures that affect Market Quality.
We examine:
- Market efficiency – transaction costs and price discovery
- Market integrity – insider trading, market manipulation and broker-client conflict.
CMCRC has historically concentrated on the needs of regulators, exchanges and brokers. Our research is now broadening to include the needs of listed companies and asset managers, unlisted OTC companies and exchanges, and new digital asset holders and managers.
