Actimize, a NICE Systems Company, Signs Deal with Netherlands Financial Markets Regulator for its Flagship Market Abuse Solution

 

Autoriteit Finanicële Markten (AFM), 4th largest European securities markets regulator, joins leading regulators already using Actimize`s pioneering trading surveillance solutions to uncover potential market manipulation

 

NEW YORK - November 03, 2008 - Actimize, a leading provider of transactional risk management software for the financial services industry and a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) company, today announced that the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) has selected the Actimize Market Abuse Solution to improve its surveillance and supervision of the Dutch market and detect various forms of Market Abuse such as market manipulation and insider dealing.

The AFM, the fourth largest regulator of financial markets in Europe, was established in March 2002 to supervise the conduct of the entire Netherlands financial market sector and to ensure that participants are handled properly and that they have accurate information. Market Abuse has become more difficult to detect over the last few years, due to the increasing complexity of financial instruments.

Actimize`s surveillance technology has already been adopted by two of the largest market regulators in the United States.

The Actimize Market Abuse Solution monitors and detects suspicious transactions and automatically distributes alerts directly to relevant users within an intuitive case management workflow environment.  The system uses several analytical methods to assign a priority score to alerts, thus improving the efficiency of regulators, trading managers and compliance staff.  The Actimize solution is built on a single, integrated platform that enables enterprise customers to add additional compliance, fraud and anti-money laundering solutions over time, while retaining the same detection engine, case manager interface, dashboard, interactive trade blotter, investigation and audit tracking and other functions.

"The AFM`s requirements are to ensure that the capital markets operate in a fair and efficient manner and to strengthen supervision in order to maintain confidence in and the reputation of the Dutch market," said Bruno Piers de Raveschoot, Head of Actimize Europe.  "By implementing the Actimize Market Abuse Solution, with its proven ability to meet global regulatory demands and monitor all types of markets and instruments together with flexibility in the management of alerts, the AFM has adopted an unparalleled capability to enhance its status in the market."

NICE Revolutionizes Trading Surveillance with First Integrated Voice and Transaction Analytics Solution

 

Cross-channel compliance solution from NICE and subsidiary Actimize extracts insights from trading calls and transactions to boost trading surveillance and investigation, reduce risk and operational costs

 

Ra`anana, Israel, November 6, 2008 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), a leading global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions to drive performance,  today introduced the financial industry`s first cross-channel Trading Compliance Solution, the Actimize Trading Interaction Surveillance Solution. The new solution combines, for the first time, insight from transactional data with voice analytics to meet growing regulatory requirements for monitoring of market abuse, insider trading and other regulatory issues. The Trading Interaction Surveillance Solution, under one unified view, automates and enhances trading surveillance and the effectiveness of regulatory investigations, thus reducing risk and operational costs, and delivering a fast ROI.

 

Today, regulators around the world demand more from financial institutions when monitoring and investigating insider trading and market abuse. They increasingly require identification of relevant phone calls, in addition to the existing transactional surveillance requirements, such as the Market Abuse Directive (MAD), MiFID and upcoming new requirements from the UK`s FSA. The solution monitors, for the first time, not only the trading transactions but also related voice conversations. Using the new Trading Interaction Surveillance Solution, compliance officers will be able to improve processes and achieve broader and more effective cross-channel surveillance and investigations.

 

To achieve more effective cross-channel surveillance, they will be able to monitor market abuse or other activities such as conflict of interest, by automatically receiving alerts on the contents of calls relating to a specific trade, which can now be integrated with the transactional alerts that are already provided today by the Actimize Market Abuse Surveillance Solution.

 

To improve investigation processes, compliance officers will be able to identify suspicious trades and immediately locate those calls relating to specific trades or incidents. Once the required call is identified, they can automatically listen to the relevant part and look for certain key words and phrases as part of the investigation process. Prior to this new solution, analysts had to invest up to hundreds of hours per investigation in listening to and transcribing calls to be able to prepare a draft case which is ready for submission. The new solution enables tying together the transactional data with the data provided by the contents of the call.

 

The benefits of this innovative, solution are reduced risk, more effective use of labor and other resources, cost savings, and significant reduction in the time needed to respond to regulatory inquiries. As regulations demand greater oversight of multi-channel trading activities - phone calls and trades -  this new solution offers a more elegant, comprehensive, and effective answer to those needs.

 

"The need to meet regulatory requirements and fight financial crime continues to be relevant and even critical in these volatile times," said David Sosna, CEO of Actimize, a NICE Company. "Clients have been telling us that this unique offering can help them improve research and surveillance processes, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce costs. The product received positive feedback at our recent Client Forums in New York and London where we showcased this integrated solution for the first time."
