Salary benchmarks
Our take
Based in London and also operating out of Toronto and Singapore, TradingHub provides market analytics solutions to some of the world’s biggest investment banks, hedge funds, and asset managers to help them identify and analyse market abuse, rogue trading and other financial misdeeds.
Protecting the integrity of financial markets is crucial to keeping the global economy in good health, or at the very least, able to recover after a downturn. Judging by the scale of TradingHub’s network, the company plays a key role.
Though it keeps most of its client base under wraps, HSBC is one confirmed customer, while TradingHub also publicises that its clients have well over $20 trillion in assets under management (AUM). No doubt the company is operating in a high-stakes environment, but its organic, venture capital-free growth since launch suggests its holding its own.
