Open RegTech for the AI-native trading floor.
Reign turns the FINOS AI Governance Framework into running code. Govern every model, agent, and trader copilot — sell-side or buy-side — with sovereign deployment and evidence built for the regulator.
Trading desks want LLMs. Risk and compliance want evidence. You need both — yesterday.
Capital markets firms are racing to deploy AI on the desk, in research, in surveillance, and across operations. But MRM groups built for VaR and credit scorecards aren't ready for non-deterministic LLMs and multi-step agents. You can't ship trader copilots if the regulator can't see what they did.
SR 11-7, OSFI E-23, and the FCA's model risk principles all expect evidence for AI — not just for analytic models.
MiFID II and best-execution obligations don't pause because an LLM is in the loop.
Trade surveillance, sanctions screening, and KYC are being rebuilt on AI — and your regulator wants to see the controls.
Sell-side and buy-side firms are deploying agents with tool access to OMS, EMS, and market-data systems with no governance layer.
Public LLM endpoints are off-limits for material non-public information, client orders, and proprietary alpha.
Vendor-locked AI governance creates the same systemic risk regulators are trying to prevent.

Best execution, record-keeping, and order-handling controls preserved when AI enters the workflow.
High-risk classification mapping for credit, fraud, HR, and client-suitability AI systems.
Trade surveillance, communications archiving, and model-risk evidence aligned with SEC and FINRA expectations.
Operational resilience, third-party AI vendor risk, and incident reporting baked into the platform.
Where teams in capital markets are starting
Trader & PM copilots
Govern desk-side LLM assistants with prompt logging, MNPI redaction, and trade-surveillance integration.
Research automation
Sovereign foundation models drafting research, summarizing earnings calls, and parsing filings — fully attributable.
Trade surveillance & ops AI
Agentic AI triaging alerts, normalizing settlements, and reconciling exceptions under continuous audit.
KYC / AML / sanctions
Reign governs LLM-assisted KYC, sanctions screening, and SAR drafting with regulator-grade evidence.
Quant developer productivity
Forge runs the secure CI/CD platform; Reign governs Cursor, Copilot, and internal MCP servers used by quants.
Buy-side diligence agents
Multi-step agents synthesizing CIMs, data rooms, and earnings — running inside your VPC, never your competitor's.
Become a design partner. Help operationalize the FINOS AI Governance Framework.
We are building Reign as Open RegTech with a small cohort of sell-side and buy-side firms and FINOS AIGF contributors. Cohort members shape the controls, the evidence packs, and the integrations — and get early access for trader copilots, research, surveillance, and ops AI.
Outcomes we are targeting with the cohort
These are the outcomes the design partner cohort is working toward together. Not historical claims — co-developed targets, transparently tracked.
Front office, research, & quants
Sanctioned, fast LLM and agent access for the desk, research, and ops — without sending alpha or client orders to public endpoints.
- Trader and PM copilots with MNPI redaction and prompt logging
- Sovereign foundation models running on your tenant or on-prem
- MCP-governed agents for surveillance, ops, KYC, and ticket triage
Compliance, risk, & internal audit
Continuous evidence aligned with how OSFI, the OCC, the FCA, the SEC, FINRA, and EU NCAs actually examine.
- FINOS AIGF, SR 11-7, OSFI E-23, MiFID II, EU AI Act control mappings
- Trade surveillance and communications archiving hooks built in
- Evidence packs in minutes — not the usual quarter-long scramble
CIO, COO, CRO, and the board
An AI strategy that is open, defensible, and won't be unwound by the regulator or your auditor mid-cycle.
- Open RegTech — no single-vendor lock-in for systemic AI controls
- Sovereign deployment options for the most sensitive workloads
- Co-developed roadmap shaped by Tier-1 banks and FINOS contributors
“Capital markets cannot ship AI that compliance cannot evidence, risk cannot govern, or the regulator cannot examine. The cohort is being built so the front office, the second line, and the third line can finally move in step.”

CAPITAL MARKETS FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Which capital-markets regulations does Reign address?
- Reign maps to FCA, MiFID II, SEC, CFTC, EU AI Act, MAS (Singapore), ASIC (Australia), DORA, FINOS AIGF, and ISO 42001 / NIST AI RMF. Assurance Packs are framework-mapped to the trading, surveillance, and best-execution evidence regulators want.
- How does Reign support trading-model governance?
- Reign Model Risk Validation maintains an approved-model registry with cryptographic version control, change-control packets, drift detection, and validation harnesses. The Audit Ledger captures every model invocation and every agent decision so trade-decision provenance is reconstructable on demand.
- Can Reign govern surveillance-model AI?
- Yes. AI Gateway applies identity-bound policy at the call layer for LLMs and agents used inside surveillance workflows. The Audit Ledger keeps tamper-evident records of every alert generation, suppression, and analyst action that touched a model output.
- Is Reign fluent in DORA operational-resilience requirements?
- Reign tracks model lineage, deployment changes, third-party AI dependencies, and incident records — the inputs DORA expects for AI workloads at financial institutions. Assurance Packs render DORA-aligned evidence packages from the same continuous capture used for MiFID and AI Act evidence.
- Does Reign work with FINOS Open RegTech tooling?
- Yes. Reign is built on the FINOS Open RegTech architecture — CDM, Morphir, DRR, AIGF — so requirements turn into runtime controls and produce machine-readable evidence as a byproduct of normal operations, rather than a compliance side-project.
- Is Reign for Capital Markets generally available?
- Reign is in Design Partner phase — engagement is qualified cohort by cohort with regulated capital-markets organizations. Forge (Managed Runtime + Modern DevOps) is GA. Capital-markets organizations interested in Reign apply to the Design Partner Program.
