Trade Surveillance Systems Market Drivers and Opportunities
Growing Need to Monitor Trade Activities in Financial Institutions
One major driver of the trade surveillance systems market is the growing need to monitor trade activities in financial institutions. This requirement can trace its roots to various factors underlining the role of effective trade surveillance in the financial sectors. It is in this regard that financial regulators in different parts of the world are putting more emphasis on trade surveillance as one of the measures for detecting and deterring financial fraud, insider trading, and market manipulation. It is in this strict regulatory landscape that advanced surveillance solutions to help regulated firms comply with the new regulatory requirements. For example, Nasdaq, Inc. offers a market surveillance product called SMARTS that assists individual exchange regulatory agencies and brokers in monitoring trading activities across multiple markets and asset classes. The CME Group has a market surveillance team within its exchange that identifies, monitors, and reviews trader positions and transactions. Third-party providers of software platforms and analytics, such as IBM with its Surveillance Insight for Financial Services and Thomson Reuters with its Accelus Market Surveillance, now Connected Risk from Refinitiv, help in customization and setting up comprehensive surveillance capabilities for other major exchanges such as NYSE Euronext
Development of Advanced Surveillance Technologies
Advanced surveillance technologies, including artificial intelligence-based pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms, open huge opportunities for the trade surveillance systems market. Such advanced technologies are capable of analyzing vast reams of trading data in real-time and allow financial institutions to effectively detect suspicious trading patterns and probable cases of market abuse. However, the high costs of implementation can be a big put-off, especially for smaller financial institutions. For example, the cost of setting up a state-of-the-art trade surveillance system is normally so prohibitively expensive that it would be hard for any small brokerage firm to afford the upfront investment necessary to competently address regulatory compliance and market integrity issues as larger firms do. This creates a disparity in the market, whereby more financially powerful and larger institutions have better opportunities to use state-of-the-art surveillance technologies. At the same time, their smaller peers lag due to the inability to afford such expenses.
