2024080217601 Outset Global Trading Limited CRD 281065 AWC vrp.pdf

From January 2022 to December 2025, Outset served as an outsourced trading desk by executing equities and options transactions for its institutional customers, including transactions in thinly traded low-priced securities. During this time, the firm’s anti money laundering (AML) program was not reasonably designed to detect and report suspicious transactions given this business. As a result, the firm failed to detect and investigate potentially suspicious activity, including instances of potentially manipulative trading.
