The Validus Platform
A comprehensive, multi-asset class platform designed to maximize the efficiency of your regulatory operations
"As we have begun to provide direct market access as a routing broker and grown in our futures offering, which is subject to a different regulator, we wanted to make sure we chose a trade surveillance platform that has all the tools that we need, a format we can review easily, and capabilities to demonstrate to regulators that we have the proper trade surveillance procedures in place. Validus checks all the boxes for us." Karl Jones, Chief Compliance Officer, SpiderRock
