From Our Man In Chicago, FIA Expo 2013, Tom Groenfeldt: Surveillance Panel

Date 12/11/2013

Chair: Matt Simon, Senior Analyst, Tabb Group

Speakers:

Ben Ernest-Jones, Senior Product Manager, Apama Capital Markets, Software AG Apama

Michael Grecoff, Head of Sales, Scila Surveillance, Cinnober Financial Technology

Michael Karbouris, Head of Business Development, Broker Technology, NASDAQ OMX

Jim Moran, Executive Director & Global Head, Strategic & Technology Initiatives, CME Group

Trading across different asset classes presents new challenges for market surveillance, a panel at FIA in Chicago last week concluded. Equities and options are quite simple -- you look to see what is happening in one and if there is manipulation in the other, but in other assets systems are limited and human intelligence is needed. In swaps, for example, a surveillance officer would determine the underlying and bring in data from historical trend patterns or real-time monitoring to look for abnormal activity. The surveillance officer could work for a regulator, an exchange or a participant; indeed, panelists said, many brokers now have their own surveillance departments.
