Announcement comes ahead of the first anniversary of Nasdaq's acquisition of Adenza
Nasdaq also wins two awards for its financial crime management and regulatory reporting technology
NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today announced it has jumped to 5th place in Chartis' annual RiskTech100® global ranking and has won two awards for its financial crime management and regulatory reporting technology. The news comes less than a year after Nasdaq's acquisition of Adenza and the establishment of its Financial Technology division. Today, as a scaled platform partner Nasdaq draws on deep industry experience, technology leadership and cloud managed services to help 3,500+ banks, brokers, regulators, central banks, financial infrastructure operators, and buy-side firms solve their most complex operational challenges across risk, compliance, and trade management.
Chartis' annual RiskTech100® awards and ranking is widely regarded as the most comprehensive independent study of the world's major players in risk and compliance technology. In 2023 Nasdaq ranked #18 while Adenza placed #10, with this year's position reflecting the combined power of its technology offering.
"This is a remarkable achievement less than one year into the integration," said Tal Cohen, President of Nasdaq. "The financial services industry faces a series of challenges through increased regulatory scrutiny, ongoing market reforms, and ever more sophisticated financial crime, alongside accelerated technology innovation. Our customers consistently tell us that they value the opportunity to partner with brands that they trust, that are highly regulated themselves and can offer insight and expertise beyond the platforms they provide. We welcome the opportunity to support our clients at such a pivotal moment for the industry, and I'm proud to see our achievements recognized by Chartis."
Sid Dash, Chief Researcher at Chartis Research, added: "Nasdaq's acquisitions, individually and collectively, provide comprehensive coverage of the transaction lifecycle, and are appropriately supported with a strong technology and service framework. Indeed, the breadth of its capabilities has moved it into the top five in the risk technology space."
