MIDDLETON, Mass., Jan. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Quadrant Knowledge Solutions has named LIST as a 2021 technology leader in the SPARK Matrix analysis of the global trade surveillance and monitoring solutions market.

Quadrant Knowledge Solutions "SPARK Matrix™: Trade Surveillance and Monitoring, 2021" includes a detailed analysis of global trade surveillance and monitoring solutions market dynamics, major trends, vendor landscape, and competitive positioning. The study provides competitive analysis and ranking of the major trade surveillance and monitoring vendors in the form of SPARK Matrix™, providing strategic information for users to evaluate different vendor capabilities, competitive differentiation, and market positions.

Financial markets have experienced a major evolution since the last decade. Banks and financial organizations have experienced failures and enormous losses by rogue traders, owing to which regulations and trade surveillance are on a surge. Trading regulations, such as Reg BI, MAR, MiFID II, Dodd-Frank, Code of Conduct; guidelines from regulatory agencies, including CFTC, SEC, FINRA, and ESMA; and other national regulations in various regions are increasing to detect trading activities that sabotage public confidence in the markets. The imperative for financial markets to comply with these regulations is the primary driving force for robust and accurate trade monitoring systems.

Trade surveillance and monitoring solutions offer capabilities for pre-trade, post-trade, and market surveillance, along with identifying market abuse practices and trade violations. Trade surveillance activities include a complete analysis of the order book, investigation of complete audit trails of orders and trades, and analysis of cross-market cross-asset trades. It helps mitigate illegal trade practices, safeguard organizations from losses from frauds and penalties, enhance consumer trust and ensure regulatory compliance.
