Bridging the Data Monetisation Gap
The strategic argument for treating market data as a product rather than a cost has arguably been won.

The Case Against Ripping and Replacing: Why Capital Markets Firms Should Build Intelligence Into What They Already Have
By Neil Vernon, Chief Product Officer, Gresham. For years, capital markets firms have faced the same challenge: modernising sprawling, legacy data systems.

One potential source is the increasing AI-savviness of company employees. As they become accustomed to using the technology on consumer devices and websites, there is a greater risk they’ll inadvertently leak or compromise...
Determinism is the New Speed: Why High Performance Trading Infrastructure is Being Redefined Around Provability
The definition of high performance in trading infrastructure is shifting. Raw speed, once the key benchmark, is increasingly being subsumed into a broader set of requirements around determinism, provability and architectural simplicity. For firms operating in fragmented, event-driven and increasingly automated markets, the competitive edge is no longer measured in nanoseconds alone, it lies in...
15 Regulatory Transaction Reporting Leaders, Europe – (2026 Edition)
Transaction reporting in Europe is no longer a question of meeting submission deadlines – it is a question of evidencing control.
