The Next Four Years: The Outlook for FCMs Under the Second Trump Administration

Today, Acuiti and ION release the report – The Next Four Years: The Outlook for FCMs Under the Second Trump Administration.

In order to understand how President Trump’s second term will shape industry dynamics and the steps FCMs are taking to prepare, Acuiti has partnered with ION to survey and interview senior executives from leading global FCMs.

Sell-side firms offering derivatives clearing services face a range of challenges as they navigate increased volatility, deregulation, geopolitical risks, and growing global complexity under President Trump’s second administration.

The report will answer – 

  • What impact will regulatory changes under the new US administration have on derivatives clearing activity?
  • How will market volatility and geopolitical tensions affect the clearing industry?
  • What are the key technology investment priorities for FCMs over the next four years in order to handle trading volumes?
  • How are shifting capital requirements influencing competition in the derivatives clearing market?
  • What new opportunities are firms pursuing, particularly in digital assets, and what is their stance on ESG and carbon trading?
