Austin, Texas, and London, October 14 (PRNewswire) — Eventus, a leading provider of comprehensive, large-scale trade surveillance and financial risk solutions, today announced that its Validus platform has been named “Best AI Solution for Trade Surveillance” at the second annual AI in Capital Markets Awards, hosted by A-Team Group. The award recognizes the innovation of Frank AI, a solution launched by Eventus in Validus last fall.
This award category recognizes AI technologies that best enhance market integrity by detecting anomalies, identifying potential misconduct, and ensuring compliance through real-time transaction monitoring. The AI in Capital Markets Awards are overseen by an independent advisory committee that, in collaboration with A-Team Insight editors, determines the shortlist, with winners selected by votes from the financial markets community.
Cameron Routh, CEO of Eventus, said: “Our Frank AI solution is designed specifically for compliance users, ensuring they can deliver repeatable, transparent, and enterprise-grade secure results when faced with any regulatory inquiry or audit. Frank enables users to quickly and reliably obtain direct answers from monitoring data without writing code or waiting for IT. We’re thrilled that customers are discovering impactful use cases for Frank, and we thank A-Team and the industry for recognizing its value. We’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of what Frank can do for enterprises.”
A-Team Group stated that the AI in Capital Markets Awards 2026 aim to recognize "outstanding solutions that drive genuine, measurable value in trading, data management, RegTech, and enterprise AI," and to "celebrate breakthrough AI applications transforming the operations of financial enterprises." The awards also honor vendors who "go beyond AI hype to deliver scalable, secure, and impactful solutions for global capital market participants."
Eventus stated that Frank AI connects to Validus data via a chat interface, enabling users to ask questions about behavioral insights, anomalies, trends, and custom data correlations using natural language. Users can interact with its real-time data on demand. Frank can also convert simple conversational prompts into scheduled reports and alerts to support the company’s compliance initiatives. The company noted that Frank’s suite of AI tools and behavioral analytics capabilities—leveraging deterministic AI along with technologies such as natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs)—helps clients automate complex processes, improve accuracy, significantly reduce alert noise, enhance operational efficiency, and more effectively identify subtle patterns of misconduct.
Eventus states that its best-in-class trading surveillance solution has received 54 awards and honors since 2018. Recent accolades include “Market Surveillance Solution of the Year” at the FOW Asia Pacific Awards, “Best Trading Surveillance Solution” at A-Team’s Capital Markets Technology Awards APAC, and “Trading Surveillance Product of the Year” at the Risk Technology Awards.
