Control over Market Impact
Recent changes in the FX market structure have led to challenges for many buyside market participants. These changes also offer opportunities that need to be seized.

This is precisely where the strengths of independent investment boutiques such as 7orca Asset Management AG lie. In this article, Holger Bang, CFA, who is Head of Portfolio Management at the firm outlines how it is addressing these market developments and utilising new toolsets to increase efficiencies as part of its best execution process.
