In today’s regulatory environment, financial institutions need surveillance professionals who are equipped with the right product, asset class, and market surveillance expertise.

One weak link — an outdated understanding of your trading profile, relying on legacy/inherited knowledge, over-reliance on your surveillance vendor solution to fill the expertise gap — can expose your institution to significant risk, reputational damage, and regulatory action.

Technology is only as effective as the people interpreting the alerts it generates. “AI” is not a replacement and does not help analysts become better at surveillance. Ongoing, rigorous evaluation and upskilling of your surveillance function is no longer optional—it’s critical.

While training options in market surveillance have historically been limited, that’s no longer the case. With us, firms now have a clear training opportunity, with no excuse for failing to invest in the capability and confidence of their surveillance teams.

Know Your Trader

Trade and Conduct Surveillance Training diagram

One of the biggest gaps in surveillance is understanding the trader’s (or client) world — how they take risk, what they use, and why certain behaviours make sense in context.

The sharper that understanding, the easier it is to break down and manage the grey area, making clearer the line between routine, risky, and abusive.

Recognising the nuances across your trading universe has a direct impact on alert quality and alert volume, where nuance can take the form of:

  • Distinguishing between genuine hedging vs. front running-like behaviour
  • Recognising when a rule breach is operational error vs. potential market abuse
  • Understanding that a large cancel rate might be normal in volatile markets, but suspicious in calm ones
  • Seeing that trader communication can provide critical context, that changes how we interpret the trade
Does this sound familiar?
  • A market surveillance analyst trying to escalate a complex case to a front-office trader or compliance officer… but not having the right context, vocabulary, or credibility — so the message gets lost.

  • Or offshore teams communicating with onshore stakeholders, where cultural, technical, or product knowledge gaps create friction or misalignment.
