Aite Group is conducting a benchmark study into U.S. buy side preparedness for, and investment in, technology for OTC derivatives market reforms.

Global regulatory reforms will have significant implications for investors in the derivatives market, ushering in important changes in trade execution, clearing, collateral management and reporting, and other areas. The purpose of this study is to understand how prepared institutional investors are for these sweeping market changes and the impact of these changes now that the derivatives clearing mandate is being implemented.

All survey responses will remain confidential and will only be reported in the aggregate. Aite Group is looking for input from all U.S.-based buy side firms. The survey should only take around 10 minutes to complete: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1249889/Derivatives-Readiness
