Originally founded as SMARTS Group in Sydney, Australia, the company became a pioneer in real-time and cross-market surveillance systems for financial markets. In 2010, SMARTS was acquired by Nasdaq and its technology was integrated to become the foundation of Nasdaq's market technology offerings. Today, the Nasdaq SMARTS surveillance solutions are a global benchmark, used by exchanges, regulators, and brokers to monitor trading activity, ensure market integrity, and identify potential market abuse, such as insider trading and manipulation.
