SteelEye using advanced tech for trade reconstruction compliance in seconds

SteelEye announced the general release of its Auto-Trade Reconstruction technology, which reduces the time it takes for a firm to reconstruct a trade from days to seconds.

Under MiFID II, MAR, Dodd-Frank and other global regulations, authorized firms can be asked by the regulator at any point to reproduce the records that relate to a trade or client order, or a number of trades and orders over a particular time frame. This requires them to bring together all the transaction/order details, conversations, emails, meeting minutes and more to “reconstruct” the scenario. However, with datasets spread across siloed platforms, meeting the typical deadline of 72 hours is a significant challenge for most firms.

By using artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced data relationships on a single platform, SteelEye makes trade reconstructions effortless ─ reducing the risk of regulatory scrutiny for firms and personal liability for senior managers.

The SteelEye platform seamlessly captures all of a firm’s structured and unstructured data across any asset-class, communication type and system – unifying it under a single lens, where it is cleansed, normalized, indexed and made instantly retrievable.

SteelEye’s Auto-Trade Reconstruction thereafter looks at any given scenario or piece of data and simultaneously brings together all information that is deemed to be relevant, such as related communications or transactions as well as independent pricing. By accepting or rejecting these “suggestions” the system learns as it goes along, becoming better at reconstructing each scenario. This means that firms can immediately dive into a trade or order and automatically see all the related phone calls, meetings, WhatsApp messages, as well as finding out information about the trade/order itself.

At the click of a button, these records can be added to an existing case or used to create a new case, and thereafter easily exported. SteelEye even brings in external market data and news to enable clients to monitor suspicious trading volumes, using data from sources such as social media Twitter feeds.

“The requirement to reconstruct all the conditions surrounding a trade or order requires firms to identify, locate and bring together a wide range of information, quickly. With many firms professing that such a request would take them over two weeks to complete, this has been an area bringing a lot of worry and stress to compliance teams,” said Matt Storey, chief product officer at SteelEye, in a statement.
