Prediction Markets: Where Trading and Real Life Events Collide
Sponsored by: KPMG LLP
Celebrate 25 years of impact at 100 Women in Finance with a timely conversation exploring one of the fastest evolving areas of the financial markets.
Prediction markets turn real world outcomes, from elections and economic data releases to sports and weather, into tradable contracts. As interest in these markets grows, their potential applications, regulatory considerations and role as real time indicators are drawing increasing attention from investors, businesses and policymakers.
The conversation will explore:
• What is driving interest and growth in prediction markets
• How prediction markets work and where they may fit within the broader investment landscape
• The evolving regulatory, legal and tax considerations surrounding the sector
• How market pricing can provide real time signals about expectations for future events
• What investors and financial professionals should understand as the market continues to develop
The discussion will be followed by an opportunity to connect with fellow members and industry professionals.
