Capital markets technology

The capital markets sector is in a long-term cycle of electronification and as a result, many of the world’s largest financial institutions look to new, innovative vendors to provide them with technology and services that will give them an edge. Customers, too, are looking for solutions that bring efficiency, timeliness, and transparency to a range of their own products and services.  

As one of Wall Street’s largest customers and market makers, SIG understands these challenges and has unique breadth and depth of insight to address them. We leverage our colleagues across the firm to better understand technology gaps in the market, make introductions on behalf of our portfolio companies, and provide our companies with differentiated customer feedback.

We frequently collaborate with peer institutions in co-investing and evaluating new technologies and vendors. By actively leveraging the broad SIG ecosystem, we give our portfolio companies unparalleled access to customers, senior managers, board members, and advisors.
