Separately, in Chartis’ just-released Market Quadrants report, which provides a detailed evaluation of key providers offering advanced surveillance solutions tailored to the unique needs of the energy and equity markets, TT achieved “strong category leader” status for both energy and equity trade surveillance solutions. In both categories, TT received a four-star rank for “Industry Leading Platform Capabilities.” Of particular note, TT earned “industry-leading” four-star rankings across all measures in the equity surveillance category, including analytics and modeling, pre-trade reporting, post-trade reporting, data infrastructure and database management, and data visualization and ease/speed of access capabilities.

TT CEO Keith Todd said: “With a long history of service to the sell side, we have been working diligently to grow our appeal to buy-side market participants, and we’re incredibly honored to have earned in short order a number 12 ranking on a cultivated list of the top 50 service providers in the buy-side sector.

Through Abel Noser Solutions, a TT company, market participants employ a wide range of sophisticated transaction cost analysis (TCA) products and services across global equities, foreign exchange, futures, fixed income and options.

In June, the firm launched TT Trade Surveillance, a multi-asset trade surveillance solution combining new multi-asset coverage and dozens of new configurable models to supplement the machine learning-driven models from TT Score, the company’s first-generation trade surveillance platform. TT Trade Surveillance provides enhanced trade surveillance capabilities to a wide range of asset classes, including futures, equities, equity options, fixed income and foreign exchange (FX).
