Financial Services
AACG economists, statisticians and programmers have performed analyses of late-trading and rapid-trading that were presented to the SEC and the New York State Attorney General's office.

Mutual Funds and Hedge Funds
We have developed monitoring tools and protocols to identify inappropriate trading behavior, such as Front-Running, Portfolio Pumping/Window Dressing and other trading behaviors that suggest an individual portfolio manager, group, or an entire firm is trading inappropriately. We help Hedge Fund and Mutual Fund clients develop tests that fit the regulatory environment and that are rigorous enough to convince investors that they have the right controls in place to protect investments.

AACG Economic Consulting's expertise in this area is built on our experience developing scientifically defensible analyses of trading behavior for clients who want to test and verify the quality of their trade monitoring. We also have related experience in litigation and have testified for the SEC in this area. For more information about our Hedge Fund and Mutual Fund monitoring experience and products click here.
