Why Compliance Is Becoming a Strategic Asset

In this episode of Financial Markets iNSiGHTS, host David Berney is joined by Melissa Watras and Rob Cope from Trillium Surveyors to explore how trade surveillance and best execution analytics are evolving from regulatory necessities into strategic tools for performance and alpha generation. Our guests share perspectives from both trading and compliance backgrounds to examine why legacy systems are no longer fit for purpose, how continuous insights are reshaping best execution committees, and why the future of compliance is about much more than just ticking boxes. We also look ahead to the implications of 24x5 trading, crypto market integrity, and how data-driven oversight is becoming a competitive advantage.
