OUR SERVICES

AI Agent Solutions for Trading, Risk, and Post-Trade Operations

Purpose-built agentic systems that integrate with existing capital markets infrastructure.

01

Autonomous Trade Surveillance Agents

Multi-agent pipelines built on LangGraph and Azure OpenAI monitor order flow for spoofing, layering, and wash trading in real time. Agents reduce false-positive alerts and route only high-confidence cases to compliance officers.

02

Research Synthesis and Alpha Generation

Retrieval-augmented agents ingest earnings calls, filings, and news feeds via LlamaIndex to generate analyst-ready summaries and sentiment scores. Portfolio managers receive structured insights hours before market-moving events.

03

Post-Trade Reconciliation Agents

Agentic workflows built on Microsoft Semantic Kernel automate matching across custodians, clearing houses, and internal ledgers. Breaks are flagged and resolved with minimal human intervention, cutting settlement cycle time.

04

Regulatory Reporting Automation

AI agents map transaction data to MiFID II, Dodd-Frank, and EMIR schemas using configurable rule engines and LLM-based validation. This reduces manual report preparation and lowers audit remediation costs.

05

Client Onboarding and KYC Agents

Document-processing agents built on Azure Document Intelligence extract and validate KYC data across jurisdictions. Integrated risk-scoring agents accelerate onboarding while maintaining AML compliance.

06

Market Risk Monitoring Agents

Real-time agents built on Databricks and Azure Synapse recalculate VaR and stress scenarios as market conditions shift. Risk desks receive proactive alerts instead of relying solely on end-of-day batch reports.

07

Conversational Trading Assistants

LLM-powered copilots integrated into Bloomberg and Refinitiv terminals answer natural-language queries on positions, exposures, and historical performance. Traders retrieve insights without switching systems.

08

Liquidity and Execution Optimization Agents

Reinforcement-learning agents analyze order book depth and historical execution data to recommend optimal order-slicing strategies. This reduces market impact costs on large block trades.

09

Fraud and Anomaly Detection Agents

Graph-based agents built on Neo4j and Azure Machine Learning detect coordinated fraud patterns across accounts and counterparties. Detection models continuously retrain on new transaction data.

10

Corporate Actions Processing Agents

Agents automate the ingestion, interpretation, and application of corporate action notices across custodial data feeds. This eliminates manual data entry errors that historically caused settlement breaks.

11

Model Risk Governance Agents

Agentic frameworks validate quant model outputs against SR 11-7 governance requirements using automated backtesting and documentation generation. Model risk teams gain continuous audit-ready evidence trails.

12

Legacy System Integration and Modernization

Intellectyx integrates agentic AI layers with legacy OMS/EMS platforms like Charles River and Murex using API middleware and event-driven architecture. This avoids costly rip-and-replace migrations.

KEY BENEFITS

Measurable Outcomes from Deploying AI Agents in Capital Markets

Enterprise clients realize quantifiable efficiency and risk reduction within the first year.

40%

Lower Operational Cost

McKinsey estimates generative and agentic AI could reduce capital markets operating costs by up to 40% through automation of research, reconciliation, and reporting functions. Firms redirect analyst time from data gathering to decision-making.

60%

Faster Compliance Reviews

Gartner reports that AI-augmented compliance teams process alerts up to 60% faster when agentic triage systems pre-filter low-risk cases. This shortens investigation cycles and reduces regulatory exposure.

35%

Reduced Settlement Errors

Forrester research shows firms deploying automated reconciliation agents cut settlement breaks by roughly 35%, lowering capital charges tied to failed trades. Straight-through processing rates improve correspondingly.

3x

Faster Research Turnaround

IDC finds that AI-assisted research workflows can triple analyst output on earnings and filings review, enabling coverage of more securities without headcount growth. This directly supports alpha generation timelines.

25%

Improved Trade Execution Quality

McKinsey notes that AI-driven execution optimization can improve realized prices by up to 25 basis points on large block trades through smarter order-slicing. This compounds meaningfully across high-volume desks.

50%

Reduced False Positives in Surveillance

Gartner reports that machine-learning-enhanced surveillance systems reduce false-positive alert rates by up to 50%, freeing compliance analysts to focus on genuine risk cases. This lowers both cost and alert fatigue.
