Execution as a Source of Persistent Alpha: Optimal Execution, Market Integrity, and DeFi Manipulation Dynamics
In this keynote, Natascha Hey examines execution as a structural component of portfolio performance rather than a post-trade function. Her talk bridges traditional and decentralized markets, showing how market design, impact models, and transparency shape execution risk and alpha persistence.
This session provides a rigorous framework for understanding execution resilience and manipulation pathways in both regulated and on-chain environments.
