The Challenge

The Problem: Legacy Tools in a Buy-Side World

Current trade surveillance is broken for asset managers. Most platforms today were retrofitted from sell-side legacy tools designed for high-volume, low-context brokerage environments. For the buy side, these tools create a dangerous and expensive gap:

•Compliance teams are overwhelmed by false positives because legacy systems prioritise trade size over portfolio context.
•Traditional tools miss nuanced buy-side issues like unfair side-by-side trading and complex order aggregation.
•Most AI solutions offer flags without explanations (Black Box), leaving firms unable to justify decisions to regulators.

The Solution

AICA (AI Compliance Agent)

AICA is a trade surveillance platform purpose-built with and for the buy side. It is not a notification tool; it is an intelligent agent that understands the intent and constraints of asset management.

Core Value Proposition

Drastically lower compliance spend by cutting down on unnecessary investigations.

Pinpoint real issues, such as portfolio pumping, front running, and insider trading, before they escalate.

Automate manual workflows, allowing teams to focus on genuine risks.

Unmatched Market Coverage

AICA provides state-of-the-art machine learning surveillance across all major asset classes:

  • Equities & Credit
  • Rates & Foreign Exchange
