Problem

In Finance markets, buy-side firms rely on legacy trade surveillance tools built for the sell-side. These systems miss critical risks - like side-by-side trading, unfair allocations and portfolio-level abuse - and flood teams with false positives. Finding a single genuine alert can take up to 48 hours due to complex data and manual analysis. This undermines compliance, increases exposure to undetected conduct risks and limits the ability to ensure market integrity - ultimately eroding investor trust and firm reputation.

Solution 

Level E developed an AI Compliance Agent (AICA), a unique AI trade surveillance platform purpose-built for the buy side. It uses cutting-edge machine learning and Agentic AI - combining bottom-up pattern detection with top-down decision intelligence - to learn fund behaviour and surface hidden risks like side-by-side trading. AICA reduces false positives by up to 80% and reduces review time from days to milliseconds, giving compliance teams real decision support and transparent, auditable insights.
