ION LookOut named "Most Innovative Trade Surveillance Solution" at A-Team Innovation Awards 2024

LONDON, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ION, a global leader in trading and workflow automation software, high-value analytics and insights, and strategic consulting to financial institutions, central banks, governments, and corporates, announces that ION LookOut has been named "Most Innovative Trade Surveillance Solution" at the A-Team Innovation Awards 2024. 

The A-Team Innovation Awards recognize innovative projects and teams across the vendor and practitioner communities that leverage new and emerging technologies to deliver cutting-edge solutions for financial institutions in capital markets. The awards focus on data management, trading technology, ESG, and regtech suppliers whose contributions are advancing these areas.

ION LookOut, developed by LIST – an ION company, is a multi-asset trade surveillance solution used across multiple jurisdictions. Machine Learning for Alarm Classification (MLAC), ION LookOut's AI-based assistant, helps compliance teams classify multiple alerts, reducing time and effort, and improving efficiency. MLAC optimizes alert management by learning from the past behavior of compliance officers. It helps reduce the workload of compliance officers while raising alarms for the necessary level of tracking activity. The automatic closure of low-profile alerts further streamlines the process, saving time.

"We are thrilled with ION LookOut's win at the A-Team Innovation Awards 2024. The recognition reflects ION's dedication to delivering high-value solutions that address our customers' evolving needs," said Alvise Insalaco, Chief Executive Officer: LIST.

"It's an honor to have ION LookOut recognized for its innovative trade surveillance solution," said Mirko Marcadella, Chief Product and Marketing Officer: LIST. "This award is a testament to ION's unwavering commitment to push the boundaries of innovation and deliver solutions that empower our customers."

Angela Wilbraham, CEO at A-Team Group and 4th annual A-Team Innovation Awards 2024 host, commented, "Many congratulations to ION for winning the Most Innovative Trade Surveillance Solution award in recognition of their achievement in delivering high levels of innovation to financial institutions. They should be deservedly proud of this accomplishment."

ION LookOut was also named Best Solution for Record Retention at the RegTech Insight Awards APAC 2024 earlier this year, further demonstrating ION's consistent track record of delivering award-winning products.
