SerenDiPity - the single-dealer platform news feed

SerenDiPity is the single-dealer platform (SDP) community blog about all issues related to single-dealer platforms, whether technical, regulatory or commercial. Although sponsored by Caplin, others are welcome to contribute, either with comments or posts of their own, so long as they stay on (or near) topic.

Launched in February 2010, SerenDiPity now has over 80 published posts; October was the busiest month so far, with 31 posts and over 1,800 views.

The most recent few posts include:
