We speak the language of the dealing room

Modern dealing rooms are complex ecosystems — trading desks, market data feeds, voice and recording infrastructure, connectivity, risk and compliance systems, all working together (or, too often, against each other). TKA understands this universe of services as a whole, not as a collection of disconnected vendors and contracts. That holistic view is what lets us find solutions that actually fit your operation — and that are usually far less costly than the alternatives proposed elsewhere.

Private Wire: lower cost, higher uptime

Private Wire connectivity is the lifeline of the dealing room, and downtime simply isn't an option. Our consulting work focuses on getting the balance right — looking critically at your Private Wire architecture and provider arrangements to minimise cost while maximising uptime, so reliability and value aren't a trade-off but a shared outcome.

Market data consulting — from quick wins to full estate reviews

Our market data consulting scales to the size of the problem. Sometimes it's a focused optimisation project: tidying up licensing, eliminating duplicate feeds, or renegotiating a single contract. Other times, it's a complete review of your organisation's entire Market Data estate — every feed, vendor, contract and use case, viewed end to end.

At the broadest level, this extends to your firm-wide Market Data framework: the operational policies, governance structures, and process design that determine how data is sourced, managed, and used across the business. Getting this framework right is what turns market data from a cost centre into a well-governed, efficiently run part of the organisation.
