LONDON – 24 October 2024: ION, a global leader in trading and workflow automation software, high-value analytics and insights, and strategic consulting to financial institutions, central banks, governments, and corporates, announces that ION’s LookOut has been named “market surveillance solution of the year” at FOW Asia Pacific Awards 2024.
The awards, hosted by Futures & Options World (FOW), recognize excellence and achievements in the Asian derivatives industry. They celebrate innovations across multiple sectors, including banks, exchanges, clearinghouses/sell-side, technology providers, buy-side, and individual contributors.
LookOut, developed by LIST, an ION company, is a comprehensive multi-compliance solution for trade surveillance, record keeping, and reporting. The solution helps brokers, investment banks, asset managers, and trading venues meet regulatory requirements across different asset classes.
LookOut covers critical activities like market manipulation, insider trading, best execution, and overall market integrity surveillance. It ensures compliance with European regulations and meets similar requirements globally. Its key features – flexible configuration, advanced detection algorithm, and machine learning to enhance alert analysis and reduce false positives – made it the top choice for the award.

This award reflects ION’s dedication to providing innovative, cutting-edge technology that addresses our clients’ evolving needs.
