Amtoc · AI and Engineering Consulting for Financial Markets
Amtoc is an independent consultancy for hedge funds, banks and financial institutions. We help firms put agentic AI to work and build the trading, risk and regulatory systems that have to be right at market open, drawing on 30 years inside tier-one banks and hedge funds.
Trading, risk and investor reporting platforms, from launch to scale.
Front-office, XVA and Regulatory technology that stands up to audit.
AI automation and modern data platforms for investment operations.
Services
Put AI agents to work on the manual processes around the desk: investor reporting, fact sheets, reconciliations, research summaries and operational checks. Designed with the controls, audit trails and human sign-off that regulated firms need.
Design and build of real-time order management, execution and risk systems, from exchange and broker API integration through to the trader and investor UI. Crypto, commodities, equities and credit.
Calculation engines and reporting pipelines that stand up to scrutiny, built by someone who has delivered them inside tier-one banks.
An independent view of your platform: what to keep, what to rebuild and in what order. Moving legacy .NET and SQL Server estates to cloud, microservices and containers without disrupting trading.
Senior engineering leadership without a full-time hire. Setting standards, building the team and roadmap, and working directly with traders, quants and investors. Ideal for new funds and growing platforms.
Approach
A focused review of your systems, workflows and goals, ending in a clear written plan with priorities, risks and costs.
Hands-on delivery alongside your traders, quants and engineers, shipping in short increments you can see working.
Documentation, tests and knowledge transfer so your team owns what we built, with ongoing support if you want it.
Expertise
Agentic workflows for asset-management operations, and AI-assisted engineering with Claude Code and Cursor.
Real-time order management, execution and risk for crypto options, commodities and cash equities, including Deribit and multi-venue API integration.
CDS indices, iTraxx and CDX arbitrage, and CDO/CLO pricing and portfolio management across four banks and a start-up.
CVA/KCVA calculations, hedging impact analysis, curve engines, P&L and mark-to-market.
Basel SA-CCR engines and automated Leverage Ratio and RWA reporting at Societe Generale and Moody's Analytics.
Real-time caches, compute grids, messaging and database design for historical and intraday market data.
Background
Amtoc is founded by Brett Paton, who has spent 30 years building the systems that banks and funds run on: trading and order management, risk and XVA, regulatory reporting, and structured credit analytics.
Brett has led engineering at two crypto hedge funds, co-founded two fintech start-ups, and delivered front-office technology at Societe Generale, UBS, Merrill Lynch and others. Amtoc combines that experience with agentic AI to help firms move faster without losing control.
