Regents Gate Capital has chosen big xyt as its provider of execution analytics and trading cost analysis (TCA), marking a strategic move to enhance its equity trading operations with advanced data insight. The London-based alternative investment firm, which launched in 2024, will use big xyt’s analytics platform to support its equity market-neutral strategy across European markets.
The agreement gives Regents Gate Capital access to venue-level performance data, liquidity breakdowns, and advanced volume curves—all designed to help the firm minimize slippage, reduce trading costs, and validate broker execution in a fragmented European trading landscape.
“Navigating the intricacies of European equities trading…”
Kevin Nealis, Chief Operating Officer at Regents Gate Capital, commented, “Navigating the intricacies of European equities trading depends on access to advanced, data-driven information – which big xyt delivers exceptionally well. Their independent data and execution analytics have helped us refine our strategies with greater precision. We can now quantify trade-offs, validate broker suggestions and measure the impact of every decision across Europe.”
Regents Gate Capital uses a fundamental equity market-neutral strategy, combining human judgment with machine learning and large-scale data to manage long and short positions while maintaining minimal exposure to overall market direction. To optimize its execution, the firm sought deeper visibility into European trading venues, including lit and dark pools, systematic internalisers, periodic auctions, and emerging alternative mechanisms.
big xyt’s platform addresses these needs by offering transparent analytics that highlight venue behavior and execution performance across the trading cycle. Its tools are designed to support fund managers who require granular insights into market microstructure to improve execution outcomes and broker negotiations.
Robin Mess, CEO at big xyt, said, “We’re delighted to welcome Regents Gate Capital as a client. As a next-generation alternative investment firm focused on volume profiles and market impact, they exemplify the kind of sophisticated asset manager that values transparency, control and precision in execution.”
Mess added, “Our continuously evolving execution analytics solutions are designed to meet these demands – by combining independent TCA validation with advanced machine learning techniques, we’re helping clients like RGC achieve smarter execution and better trading outcomes across the board.”
big xyt has built a reputation as an independent provider of high-quality trade data and analysis for banks, exchanges, and asset managers. Its platform supports pre-trade and post-trade transparency, regulatory reporting, and execution optimization. The firm’s solutions have become increasingly relevant as buy-side firms seek greater clarity into trading decisions and market behaviors in an environment defined by fragmentation and regulatory scrutiny.
The partnership with Regents Gate Capital reflects a broader trend among asset managers investing in analytics to support competitive and adaptive trading strategies, particularly within algorithmic and market-neutral models. For big xyt, the deal extends its presence among high-performance funds focused on systematic, data-driven execution.
