Nasdaq (NDAQ) released its 2026 Global Voice of the Issuer Study on Sept. 10, 2026, showing private markets as the top area of client demand for asset managers in every surveyed region and broad, but shallow, AI use in product development.

Brand credibility (55%) now ranks ahead of product design (46%) and pricing (42%) as the leading competitive differentiator, while 68% want index providers involved in product design and 65% see value in index firms acting as extensions of their research teams.

Nasdaq Verafin (NDAQ) announced a partnership with Alloy to integrate fraud risk data and alerts across their platforms for shared financial institution customers.
The collaboration begins with two-way integration of fraud risk signals. Mutual customers will be able to access fraud insights from Nasdaq Verafin’s consortium data network, which covers over 850 million counterparties, directly within Alloy’s identity and fraud prevention platform. Alloy’s real-time fraud alerts will feed into Nasdaq Verafin’s alert, investigation, and case management platform, while case outcomes will cycle back into Alloy’s Fraud Signal machine learning model to refine controls.
