NEW YORK and AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, 2012-11-29 15:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
--
ABN AMRO Clearing, a business line of ABN AMRO, has implemented NASDAQ OMX's
SMARTS Broker solution for surveillance and compliance monitoring across
multiple equity, derivative and commodity markets in Europe, Asia Pacific and
the United States.
ABN AMRO Clearing will utilize the automated trade monitoring solution to
facilitate quick identification of suspicious trading behavior and intuitive
detection of potential market abuse. SMARTS Broker will provide the bank's
multi-regional compliance professionals with actionable insight and
sophisticated alerts for various forms of market abuse, including insider
trading, market manipulation, violations of order handling rules and irregular
trading patterns by automated and high frequency trading platforms. The ABN
AMRO users of SMARTS Broker are then able to utilize the integrated SMARTS data
analysis tools, including Spread Graph and Market Replay, which enables them to
quickly and efficiently evaluate the alerted trading, against the background of
full historical market data.
Paul Willis, Global Compliance Officer at ABN AMRO Clearing, said: 'SMARTS
Broker's speed to market and cross-functionality was very important in our
decision to partner with an automated trading solution provider. As we continue
rolling out new markets to better service our customers across the globe, we
will look to further strengthen our surveillance responsibilities and keep pace
with the existing and future regulatory demands. SMARTS Broker is a suitable
partner for all of these activities.'
Paul McKeown, Vice President of Market Technology at Nasdaq OMX, said: 'We're
very pleased to be supporting ABN AMRO Clearing's global surveillance and
compliance endeavors through sourcing, managing and processing the enormous
levels of market data and broker data required to run a global surveillance
solution on a real-time or post-trade basis.
He added: 'SMARTS Broker's flexibility and scalability to add new asset classes
and connect to new marketplaces will be valuable for ABN AMBRO Clearing as its
business continues to evolve.'
