AI GOVERNANCE PLATFORM · CAPITAL MARKETS
Reign for Capital Markets
AI governance for your trading, execution, surveillance, and clearing workflows. MiFID II + FCA + SEC + CFTC + FINRA aligned. EU AI Act high-risk AI compliance. FINOS AIGF aligned.
WHY NOW
Microsecond AI. Microsecond evidence.
Capital markets AI deployments now span execution algorithms, smart order routing, market surveillance, abuse and manipulation detection, post-trade reconciliation, and customer-facing copilots. Surveillance and best-execution evidence cadence has been overrun by the pace of AI change.
Three converging forces are reshaping how exchanges, broker-dealers, and capital markets infrastructure providers deploy AI:
MiFID II + best-execution evidence at machine cadence.
Best-execution and surveillance reconstruction extended to AI-assisted decisions. Replay must hold up to FCA, AMF, and BaFin examinations.
EU AI Act high-risk obligations from August 2026.
Trading-decision and surveillance AI systems classified as high-risk under Annex III. Conformity-assessment evidence must be continuous, not periodic.
Surveillance AI is itself the surveillance subject.
AI-assisted abuse and manipulation detection has to be auditable and explainable to the same regulators it serves. The watcher is now the watched.
Reign for Capital Markets sits at that intersection. Built for continuous, replayable AI governance across your trading, surveillance, and post-trade workflows.
TWO NAMED CAPABILITIES
Continuous Observability.
Continuous Assurance.
Two named outcomes Reign delivers. For every AI and agent decision in your execution, surveillance, post-trade, and customer-facing workflows.
AI GATEWAY · MODEL RISK VALIDATION
Continuous Observability
Every prompt, model invocation, agent decision, drift event, and validation result. Visible in real time. Queryable after the fact. No black-box AI in execution, surveillance, or best-execution evidence workflows.
“What is the system doing right now?”
AUDIT LEDGER (CAVR) · ASSURANCE PACKS
Continuous Assurance
Independent, attestable evidence. Packaged for MiFID II best execution, FCA surveillance, SEC + CFTC examinations, and EU AI Act conformity assessment. One evidence spine. Every regulatory framework.
“Can someone independent attest the AI is operating correctly. And prove it to the FCA, SEC, or CFTC?”
ONE SPINE. EVERY REGULATORY FRAMEWORK.
Native coverage of the regulatory landscape for capital markets AI.
Reign for Capital Markets maps natively to the frameworks that govern your AI deployments. Exchange, broker-dealer, infrastructure. No custom integration. No translation. Assurance Packs generated from the spine in conformity-assessment-ready format.

FINOS AIGF
Reign aligns with the FINOS AI Governance Framework. Open, vendor-neutral, extensible by capital markets firms contributing to the community standard.
