Behavox

Behavox is a fintech startup developing a holistic employee surveillance system.

We provide solutions for compliance officers and forensics teams that help detect cases of market abuse, fraud, collusion, sensitive and reckless behaviour early and conduct investigations faster.

By linking communication (phone calls, email, IB chat etc.) and trading data our solutions allow users to discover, visualise and quantify relationships between people, organisations, transactions and content.

Solutions:

Behavox monitors employees communications and trading activity for any indications of market abuse.

Insider trading

Our system searches for signals in voice and text communications that may constitute an inside knowledge.

We are looking for changes in tone, requests to keep information confidential, requests for immediate execution and disregard of the market price.

Behavox also analyses trading activity for significant deviations from an established investing style.

Market manipulation

We monitor trading activity to discover trades that significantly affect market price and may constitute market manipulation. These include:

• Significant volume of trading near to a reference point during the trading day e.g. near the close
• Series of transactions that seek modifying the valuation of a position without increasing/decreasing its size
• Series of transactions that seek bypassing the trading safeguards as regards volume limits, bid/offer spread parameters, etc.

Behavox studies every aspect of employee's behaviour to understand what constitutes her normal pattern. We flag up any significant deviation from this norm.

Advanced pattern recognition algorithms help recognise:

• Rogue trading
• Breach of fiduciary duty
• Systematic avoidance of recorded communication channels.

Misconduct is rarely committed alone. Sometimes it could be just as important to identify the wider group that may be acting in concert.

Behavox calculates proprietary risk score for each employee which includes quantifying risk in relationships with key contacts.

Business associates are ranked based on closeness, importance and relevance of connection.
