ExeQution Analytics opens London and Belfast offices

ExeQution Analytics has opened offices in London and Belfast to serve clients in EMEA and the US. The locations join the firm’s existing Sydney operation and bring the global headcount to 20 employees.

Founded in 2021, ExeQution provides trading analytics for exchange-traded asset classes and added foreign exchange capabilities this year. Its client list includes hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, proprietary trading firms, asset managers and brokers.

Founder and CEO Cat Turley said strong client demand and fast growth prompted the decision to establish a presence in the UK time zone. “When I launched this company, I knew there was a market for custom analytics, but the response has surpassed my expectations,” she said.

Europe Director Neil Rajgor leads the new UK operations. Rajgor joined from roles at BlackRock, JP Morgan, RBS, CIMB, NatWest Group and TD Bank Group and assembled a six-person team of kdb+ trading analytics specialists with experience at Standard Chartered, Citi, HSBC and Macquarie Group. Rajgor recalled prior collaborations with Turley at JP Morgan and RBS as a factor in his move.

Clients reported improvements after adopting ExeQution’s analytics framework. Denny Chau, chief operating officer at Polymer Capital, noted the platform has enhanced research and trading analysis across the investment lifecycle and said the team delivered value quickly.

The analytics platform is written in q and deployed as a customized solution for each client. The system is designed for traders, engineers and data scientists and includes graphical and natural language interfaces so nontechnical users can access analytics without specialist coding skills. The framework is compatible with existing execution systems and market data feeds.

The London and Belfast offices increase the firm’s operational capacity in Europe and allow support across more time zones. ExeQution continues to market its analytics services to firms active in exchange-traded markets.
