Thomson Reuters Debuts Market Surveillance Platform

Delivered as a managed service, Accelus produces automated notifications of suspicious trade activity. It can be further integrated with Eikon to produce audit trails involving market data, and tick data from Thomson Reuters Tick History.

Various regulations and guidelines are advocating the use of technologically sophisticated market surveillance regimes, to perform the function in as near to real time as possible.

"Regulatory and compliance issues continue to be a focus of trading operations following a number of high profile rogue trading and insider trading incidents," says Miftah Khan, global head of trading compliance and disclosures at Thomson Reuters. "Trading compliance managers are looking for a more integrated, flexible, cross-asset trade surveillance solution, and Accelus Market Surveillance is uniquely positioned to serve this need given Thomson Reuters combination of leading compliance, market data, and managed service capabilities. This solution also extends Thomson Reuters' already powerful suite of conduct risk management capabilities spanning conflicts compliance, suitability monitoring, compliance training, regulatory tracking and more. Together, this multi-disciplinary approach enables firms to minimize risk and demonstrate a more visible culture of compliance within their organisations."
