Eventus Systems, Inc., a provider of innovative regtech software solutions for the capital markets, has just announced that the independent futures brokerage and clearing firm Rosenthal Collins Group LLC (RCG) has deployed its Validus platform for RCG’s trade surveillance needs.
RCG chose the cloud version of the platform for its compliance officers to monitor trading activity and watch for any potential regulatory issues.
RCG Director of Compliance Tom Mallers said:
We looked at a lot of trade surveillance vendors for the industry, and Eventus offered us a powerful solution with Validus. The cloud-based platform is easy to use and flexible, and we’ve been able to achieve significant cost savings while meeting our objectives.
Mallers added RCG appreciates the flexibility of the Validus software – particularly the ability to make changes to parameters and adjust levels of surveillance alerts – and customize it to the firm’s specific needs.
We don’t need to be programmers to make our own changes,” he commented.
This is a really good fit for us, and the customer support has been great. Eventus staff is not only responsive and accessible but extremely knowledgeable about the nuances of futures and the rules that apply. Even the layout of the platform demonstrates that the people behind it are well versed in exchange rules and terminology,” Mallers concluded.
Since deploying the solution, RCG requested a new feature for Validus, and Eventus made the change promptly – benefiting not only RCG but all Eventus clients who want to use it.
Eventus CEO Travis Schwab shared:
We’re very pleased to partner with RCG on its surveillance program following an extensive due diligence process that Tom and his staff conducted. Right off the bat, the firm made a great suggestion about a feature to add, and that is exactly the type of collaborative input we encourage.
