TabbFORUM Speaks: Top 10 Trends Shaping the Capital Markets

As TABB Group described in our U.S. Institutional Equity Trading report earlier this year, 2017 has proven to be an exciting and transformative time for the capital markets. The U.S. market has rallied to new highs, and yet volatility remains at historic lows. There was no shortage of interest from our roughly 32,000 TabbFORUM readers in what’s happening now and what lies ahead. Covering the regulatory and political environments as well as technology and financial developments, our Top 10 Trends list has been derived from the most read and most commented on topics in the capital markets this year.

The objective of this market note is to highlight major stories that continue to influence the behaviors of market participants and their respective firms in the foreseeable future.  Analyst opinions and data overlay from recent TABB Group research studies are included to supplement findings.  This report is well worth the time for anyone in the process of contemplating budgets for 2018.
