Broker-dealers sit where conduct risk and reporting risk meet. In Austria, the Vienna Stock Exchange anchors a compact capital market where the FMA applies MiFID II with a conservative hand. ABM Global Compliance supports broker-dealers and execution businesses in Austria with best execution frameworks, client asset protection, transaction reporting, and market abuse controls.

Where Execution Meets Obligation every time.
Best execution demands monitoring and evidence, client asset rules require reconciliations that survive scrutiny, and MiFIR reporting must be complete on every trade. In Austria, that framework lands on a market with its own character: the Vienna Stock Exchange anchors a compact capital market where the FMA applies MiFID II with a conservative hand. Layered onto the EU rulebook sit national requirements including FM-GwG.
Regulator data analytics surface reporting errors automatically, whether firms notice them or not, and client asset findings escalate fastest of all. High volumes leave no slack for compliance running behind the desk. What works is compliance designed for this jurisdiction, where a tradition of conservative, detail-focused supervision with strong CEE reach sets the accent that expectations carry.

Broker-Dealer Questions Answered
What does best execution actually require?
Taking all sufficient steps to obtain the best possible result for clients, backed by execution policies, venue monitoring, and evidence that arrangements genuinely work.
What are client asset protection rules?
Segregation of client money and assets from firm resources, robust reconciliations, clear records, and arrangements ensuring protection if the firm fails every time, including FM-GwG duties.
Are we liable for reporting errors?
Yes. Responsibility for complete, accurate transaction reporting stays with your firm regardless of any ARM used, which makes independent accuracy testing valuable.
How should surveillance cover proprietary trading?
Surveillance must detect potential abuse across both client and own-account activity, with conflicts between the two managed and documented visibly every time.
Can you support smaller brokerage firms?
Absolutely. We scale frameworks and monitoring to lean teams, giving smaller broker-dealers senior compliance capability without full-time internal cost at every stage.
