      Clear Street and Owen Lau

      Clear Street, a cloud-native financial technology firm, has hired Owen Lau as Managing Director and Senior Analyst to spearhead equity research coverage of the financial technology sector.
       

      Owen Lau will report to Director of Research Mara Goldstein and brings over a decade of experience in equity research specialising in fintech across global capital markets.
       

      The appointment forms part of Clear Street's broader expansion across technology sectors including fintech, disruptive technology, cryptocurrency and biotechnology. The firm is building its presence in high-growth industries ahead of its inaugural Disruptive Technology Conference in Palm Beach on 19-20 November, where it will host clients for one-to-one meetings and presentations with more than 30 public and private company technology chief executives.

      Today's announcement is a very natural extension of our mission and our identity. Clear Street is, at its core, capital markets infrastructure that processes billions of dollars in daily activity and handles tens of billions in client balances, consolidated within one single ledger. We started only six years ago with clearing technology where execution, financing and risk management run together on a single, cloud-based and real-time platform. That unified dataset benefits investors with speed and access as we scale our offerings globally and across asset classes. With a robust network of clients that rely on us, we are excited to empower them with more and more insights and value-added opportunities, including now access to fintech expertise, from a firm that started day-one as disruptive, financial technology.

      ~Ed Tilly, CEO of Clear Street


      Prior to joining Clear Street, Lau served as Executive Director and Senior Analyst at Oppenheimer & Co., where he led industry research in fintech and information services, including blockchain, exchanges, banks and consumer finance. He has previously held positions at Janney Montgomery Scott, S&P Global, Barclays and HSBC.

      Most FX and CFD brokers believe their reporting is accurate. Few can explain precisely how their volume figures are calculated, how spread revenue is derived, or how multi-currency denominations affect their net profit numbers. Inaccurate brokerage reporting is one of the industry's least discussed problems - management teams are making decisions, filing regulatory returns and reporting to stakeholders based on figures that contain systematic errors.
