Why choose TZ for Market Abuse?

With the EU’s recent attempts to prevent market abuse with the implementation of its Market Abuse Regulations, it’s never been more important to have a comprehensive system in place to counter market abuse and understand the ways it might occur. Your system will need to be regularly updated to meet the changing market abuse regulations, and will need to be able to reduce the risk of false positives – a problem often made worse by legacy systems that tend to struggle with time pressure and large volumes of data.
