2016 Tech 50：Michael Spencer

在“fintech”成为一个流行语之前，迈克尔斯宾塞在他在1986年创立的interdealer经纪的方向上绘制了一个课程，即他在1986年创立的ICAP。在2000年代初的收购之后，在E-Trading Platforms Brokertec Global和EBS的收购之后，将去年与EBS Brokertec联合在一起，以及ramp-up in posttrade services and R&D investments, London-based ICAP has been redefining itself as a “fintech firm” and “the world’s leading multiproduct global electronic network for over-the-counter products and posttrade services,” says Spencer, 61. To cap it off, ICAP is awaiting regulatory approvals to transfer its voice and hybrid brokering businesses to Tullett Prebon, and plans to rebrand itself as NEX Group. “Our whole focus as a management team will be on these higher-growth, technology-focused businesses,” says the CEO, noting that 79 percent of £1.2 billion ($1.7 billion)-in-revenue ICAP’s operating profit comes from what will be NEX activities. Spencer has his executive team lined up, including CEOs Jenny Knott of Post Trade Risk and Information (PTRI), Gil Mandelzis of EBS BrokerTec, Per Sjöberg of derivatives risk mitigation platform TriOptima and Steve Gibson of venture investment arm Euclid Opportunities. The Euclid portfolio included hedge fund and prime brokerage data platform ENSO Financial Analytics until April, when ICAP bought it outright for the PTRI division. Also this year, Euclid purchased a stake in Digital Asset Holdings (seeBlythe Masters，17号）。“我们并不试图破坏但正在与该行业合作，”斯宾塞说，ICAP的“实用方法”到区间策略。“PTRI于2月完成了分布式分区的技术验证测试，因此我们在理解和实验中得到了这种技术。”斯宾塞认为，由于Trioptima正在展示其投资组合压缩服务和Euclid Portfolio公司OpenGama，正在做的，有多种机会，可以通过数据和资本管理来提高金融市场效率。6月，EBS Brokertec宣布为期三年，6500万美元，为中国外汇贸易系统的固定收入和货币执行服务提供下一代技术。Spencer将该项目描述为“一个重要的平台，这将在人民币未来发挥关键作用”。
