Italy is recognized as
the second-largest securitised derivatives market in Europe after Germany.
Spectrum's collaboration with ACEPI reflects its keen interest in understanding
and influencing how the industry embraces innovation and change in this
significant market.
”Joining
forces with a leading association such as ACEPI is a meaningful step forward
for us, proving our dedication to fostering transparency, supporting retail
investors, and advocating for industry interests."
"This membership, which
follows the announcement of Spectrum being a supporting member of the German
Association for Structured Securities (BSW - Bundesverband für strukturierte
Wertpapiere) reinforces our effort to be an active part of the change. After
Germany, Italy is the second largest securitised derivatives market in Europe
and it is very important for us to see how the industry is embracing innovation
and change,” Nicky Maan, the CEO of Spectrum Markets, commented.

Markets among the newest members is a gratifying step forward, confirming the
leading role achieved by ACEPI in the financial industry. Their contribution
introduces a different and innovative perspective that will bring further value
to the Association's initiatives aimed at promoting the culture and conscious

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
