KDB Developer

Our client has purchased an off the shelf solution that will allow them to monitor transactional information (pre and post-execution) to detect the occurrence of bad behavior or misconduct across FICC products by its Global Markets and Group Treasury divisions operating across Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, and New York. Further to this, the solution has a case management capability to manage any investigation that originates from the detection lifecycle.

The software will be configured to detect known behaviors identified by major trading regulators/regulations such as the Financial Markets Authority (FCA) / European Market Abuse Regulations.
