Building consensus.
Driving industry change.
Every year, and across four continents, Quorum 15 brings together senior executives from financial institutions, firms and service providers in over 30 Q15 forums in London, New York, Boston, Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore. Today, our Q15 network embraces 80 organisations and more than 250 senior industry professionals.
Self-financing and entirely independent, we are not an industry association or lobbying body. Rather, we bring industry leaders and market practitioners together in a trusted, confidential environment for frank debate around topical industry themes and challenges.
Through open dialogue we aim to develop mutual understanding and to capture industry consensus around key opportunities and challenges that impact financial markets worldwide. This information can, in turn, be fed back to member organisations and, as appropriate, to industry associations and supervisory and regulatory bodies.
Outside of specific Q15 forum activity, we work closely with regulators and industry associations to support the establishment, maintenance and promotion of fair, efficient and well-functioning financial markets. Regulators including FCA, CFTC, ASIC, MAS, SFC and others recognise Q15 as thought leaders and a trusted ‘industry voice’.
