Knowledge for Markets
Knowledge for Markets is the flagship platform of FT Knowledge Management Company Limited (FTKMC), a constituent of the Financial Technologies Group. FTKMC traces its origins to the erstwhile MCX Centre of Academia: Consultancy and Training, a division of Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. (MCX), India’s No. 1 commodity exchange. FTKMC is incorporated as a private company under The Companies Act, 1956.
FTKMC develops strategies and solutions in knowledge management across all the major asset markets and segments, including equities, commodities, currencies, bonds, debt, banking, and financial services. Its range of services includes financial education and training, consultancy, research and publications, and advisory services. A rich blend of conceptual clarity along with a focus on market practice is embedded in the programmes designed by FTKMC, leading to wider acceptance from a cross-section of professionals from policy, regulation, and market intermediation as also the investing community.
In addition to its own development initiatives, FTKMC derives its strength from its close access with the extensive ecosystem of institutions promoted by the Financial Technologies Group, which include Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX), India’s No.1 commodity exchange; MCX Stock Exchange Limited (MCX-SX), India’s new stock exchange that has leadership in trading in currency futures; National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) for spot trading in agricultural commodities; Indian Energy Exchange Limited (IEX) for trading in electricity; National Bulk Handling Corporation Limited (NBHC) for warehousing; TickerPlant Limited for financial data distribution; Atom Technologies Limited for mobile payment solutions; and Credit Market Services Limited (CMSL) for designing best practices in credit markets. Its international ventures include Singapore Mercantile Exchange (SMX), Global Board of Trade (GBOT) in Mauritius, Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX), Bourse Africa in Botswana, and Bahrain Financial Exchange (BFX). These relationships give FTKMC a unique leverage and advantage in the realm of knowledge management.
