Knowledge Is Power

  • Compliance Training

    Effective compliance starts with a knowledgable compliance staff. GMAG’s professionals have years of experience as front-line compliance staff. We can provide comprehensive training on the full range of skills that compliance staff need, from communication skills to unraveling and making sense of complex trading abuses, to everything in between..

  • Market Structure

    The pace of change in the financial markets can be dizzying, and can be overwhelming to keep up with, especially when staff functions are “siloed” for efficiency. GMAG’s professionals have deep experience as operations, trading, regulatory and compliance professionals. We can provide training on a variety of market structure issues, to help your compliance staff stay nimble and alert to new issues.

  • Data Analytics

    The past few years have seen an exponential increase in the amount of data available to financial institutions (and their compliance teams), and the development of ever more powerful tools to manipulate and analyze the data to uncover useful patterns and trends. GMAG’s professionals have deep experience with data analysis and market surveillance, and with using data to inform compliance decisions. We can train your compliance staff on how to effectively unlock information that may be lurking in your data, and use that information to improve your compliance program.

  • Data Governance

    Effective analysis of data starts with understanding what data you have, where it lives, who owns it, and who can access it. It also requires clear guidance and policies on data governance, to make sure that you retain appropriate oversight and control of your data. GMAG’s professionals have deep experience developing data governance strategies. We can train your team on how to get their arms around, and keep an eye on, your firm’s data.
