LSEG Introduces New Trade Surveillance Solutions to Enhance Compliance and Reduce Operational Risk

(IN BRIEF) LSEG has launched Trade Surveillance, a new service designed to help financial institutions identify and investigate potential market abuse and financial crime more efficiently. Now live with dedicated solutions for MiFID and FX markets, the offering combines proprietary surveillance technology with trusted private and public market data to deliver contextual alerts, reduce false positives, and provide deeper insights into trading behaviour. Trade Surveillance for MiFID aligns with datasets used by UK and EU regulators and offers plug-and-play deployment for existing LSEG ARM clients, while the FX solution delivers zero-integration monitoring across LSEG and third-party trading venues. Together, the services aim to strengthen compliance, reduce operational risk, and lower the cost of surveillance.

(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 13-Jan-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — LSEG has announced the launch of Trade Surveillance, a new solution designed to help market participants more effectively detect, investigate, and manage potential market abuse and financial crime, while improving both operational efficiency and cost control. The service is now live with two dedicated offerings, covering MiFID-regulated instruments and foreign exchange markets.

As trading activity becomes more complex and regulatory expectations continue to rise, many financial institutions are finding that traditional surveillance systems struggle to keep pace. These legacy tools can be expensive to operate and limited in their ability to analyse behaviour across multiple venues and asset classes. LSEG’s Trade Surveillance addresses these challenges by combining high-quality, trusted datasets with proprietary surveillance technology that already processes billions of trade and order messages each day across LSEG venues.

The new service enables clients to monitor alerts generated from their own private trading data, enriched with relevant public market data, reference information, and news content. This contextual approach supports cross-venue alerting, helping to reduce false positives and deliver more meaningful insights. In addition, behavioural anomaly detection capabilities allow firms to better understand patterns in trading activity and identify potentially problematic behaviour more quickly.

Trade Surveillance for MiFID is designed as a multi-market, multi-asset solution for firms trading MiFID instruments. It leverages the same datasets used by UK and EU regulators for market abuse detection, ensuring alignment with supervisory expectations. The service delivers cross-venue and cross-product alerts using LSEG’s consolidated European order book, which is built from data sourced from more than 40 UK and EU trading venues and approved publication arrangements. For clients already using LSEG’s Regulatory Reporting Solutions ARM, the MiFID surveillance service can be activated on a plug-and-play basis, requiring no additional technical development or data validation work.

For the foreign exchange market, Trade Surveillance for FX supports spot FX participants operating on LSEG’s FX Dealing, Advanced Dealing, and Matching platforms, as well as firms trading on third-party venues connected through LSEG’s Trade Notification network. Delivered via a secure, web-based graphical interface, the FX solution requires zero system integration and allows clients to view their private trading activity alongside the public Spot Matching order book, providing critical context in a highly fragmented market.

LSEG leadership highlights that Trade Surveillance has been developed to strengthen compliance capabilities while reducing operational risk and complexity. By aligning methodologies and datasets with regulatory standards and combining them with deep market data, the new service is intended to support firms in meeting their regulatory obligations more efficiently and with greater confidence.
