Season 1, Episode 8 - Hitesh Mittal

Welcome to 8 Minute Market Structure, where we ask capital markets leaders and visionaries one simple (but very loaded) question: If you were building a new market structure from scratch and could change one thing... What would it be? In our eighth episode, our host, Texture Capital CEO Richard Johnson, speaks with Hitesh Mittal, CEO of BestEx Research. Here is a preview of what Hitesh might focus on with his market structure magic wand: "The problem is in over-the-counter markets the network effects are very strong; the larger dealers get even larger and that drives away competition, hurting investors. And US equity markets are gravitating more to becoming more over-the-counter.” Watch this episode to hear Hitesh explain his idea to create a protected, *Retail NBBO*, which would level the playing field between wholesalers and exchanges. 8 Minute Market Structure: One topic, no prep calls, just 8 minutes of Concise, expert insight for better markets.
