The offering, Surveyor Best Ex, aims to support trading desks and compliance teams in driving best execution by analysing large volumes of execution data at scale to then be turned into actionable insights, reducing manual data wrangling.
Surveyor Best Ex is also expected to help firms access measurable ROI, support proactive compliance as regulation evolves and streamline workflows.
“This enhancement goes beyond a simple technology upgrade – it provides trading and compliance leads with the tools and flexibility needed to stay ahead of evolving regulatory demands while optimising best execution practices,” said Lisa Balter Saacks, president of Trillium Surveyor.
“Our enhanced analytics help uncover hidden inefficiencies and make faster, smarter execution decisions, turning regulatory requirements into a performance advantage.”
Input from best execution committees at firms across the industry was used to help develop the offering, and enabling daily best execution monitoring is essential in periods of market volatility, according to the firm.
Melissa Watras, director of product at Trillium Surveyor, said: “Traders and compliance officers don’t always speak the same language, but now they can work off the same data, in the same place, with the same level of confidence.”
Most recently, the firm partnered with Blue Ocean Technologies in May 2025, in a bid to enable 24-hour, 5-day trade surveillance coverage, as part of an industry push for after-hours trading.
The partnership also made Trillium Surveyor the first trade surveillance provider to cover overnight trading sessions.
