Welcome back to the Surveyor Monitor! The past few months have been a transformative time for the Trillium Surveyor team, culminating in the milestone launch of our new brand and website.
Our new brand – which extends to our new logo, the language we use to talk about ourselves, and our overall look and feel – is a compelling illustration of how our solutions stand out from the crowd. Most importantly, it reaffirms our commitment to solving the industry’s toughest compliance challenges through high-performance technology, innovative features, intuitive user experiences, consultative education, and outstanding service.
Our new tagline – “Trade Surveillance Made Elegant”– reflects the fact that our platform is highly sophisticated, yet easy to navigate. That’s an ethos we’ve tried to reflect throughout the new website. Visitors can explore our Trade Surveillance and Best Execution products, dive into use cases for their specific firm type, consider our perspectives on the industry landscape, and learn more about who we are and how we got here.
As compliance professionals prepare for their next wave of challenges, we stand ready to help them leverage cutting-edge, critically needed tools to achieve a culture of compliance – no matter their role in the trading ecosystem.
In wider industry news, the SEC’s expanded dealer definition may have just foisted an array of new compliance considerations on your firm. For companies that may be affected, we encourage you to leverage Surveyor to make the trade surveillance aspects of the FINRA registration process easier. On our new podcast – more on that later in the newsletter! – we’ll spend the first episode diving further into the complexity of the new dealer registration rule and highlight what you need to know to stay ahead of the curve.
In the meantime, we invite you to explore our new website and reach out to us to start a conversation. We’re embracing this new era with a renewed focus, and we’re excited to embark on this journey with you!
– Lisa Balter Saacks, President, Trillium Surveyor

Where We’ve Been, Where We’re Going
Sip & Connect: Women in Fintech Event
We had a fantastic time at our “Sip & Connect” networking soirée! It was inspiring to see so many talented women in FinTech and RegTech come together to connect and support one another. Our “give-get” activity allowed us to support each other both professionally and personally and to make strong connections across generations of the industry. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such an uplifting atmosphere. Stay tuned for details for our next gathering this fall!
Wedbush Securities Golf Fundraiser
We also enjoyed our time at Wedbush Securities’ Golf Fundraiser this summer, where our team hit the links for North Shore Coalition Against Substance Abuse (NA-CASA), an organization that works to prioritize the overall wellness of kids in the North Shore School District. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support charity events working towards impactful causes and help make a positive impact in our community.
Post-Trade Perspectives Dinner: Compliance and Cocktails
Thank you to all who joined us for this week’s “Compliance & Cocktails” networking dinner. It was a truly memorable evening that produced great conversations on the regulatory landscape, building a culture of compliance, and beyond.
We look forward to many more opportunities to connect and collaborate!
Looking Ahead
We’re back on the event circuit and gearing up for STA’s 91st Annual Market Structure Conference — September 18-20 in Orlando! President Lisa Balter Saacks, Director of Business Rob Cope, and Director of Sales AJ LeGaye will be onsite to learn about the latest trends impacting US market structure and share our story with the many impressive firms in attendance.
Crowdsource Corner
We want to hear from you!
Industry education has always been a cornerstone of Surveyor’s business — and we’re excited to begin a new chapter of that effort.
We’re preparing for the launch of our new podcast: Trade Surveillance 360. Our hope is that this podcast will serve as an industry resource providing a holistic view of trade surveillance and the ever-shifting regulatory environment.
Our first topic? The SEC’s new definition of a dealer – and how your firm may be impacted. Keep an eye out for the official launch of Episode 1!
We’d like your help as we chart our editorial calendar. What’s keeping you up at night? What are some topics surrounding compliance and trade surveillance that you’d like us to unpack on the podcast? Let us know via email.
