FIS has been ranked #1 in the Chartis BuySideRisk50 and named a Category Leader in the Chartis RiskTech Quadrant 2026 for client‑lifecycle‑management (CLM) solutions for Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB). These dual recognitions validate the firm’s strategy of delivering compliance technology that spans the full investment lifecycle—from pre‑trade risk assessment and portfolio analytics to client onboarding and ongoing regulatory controls. In an environment where buy‑side institutions confront ever‑more intricate regulatory regimes, the ability to cover every stage without stitching together point solutions has become a decisive factor in technology selection. The accolades therefore signal to banks, asset managers, and other financial‑services buyers that FIS can provide a unified, end‑to‑end platform capable of meeting today’s compliance demands while remaining adaptable to future changes.
FIS Leads the Chartis BuySideRisk50
The Chartis BuySideRisk50 evaluates the 50 leading vendors of buy‑side analytics across five core scoring criteria: Breadth of Functionality, Strategy, Innovation, Market Impact, and Customer Success. FIS secured the overall No. 1 position and topped four of those five criteria, earning outright wins for Breadth of Functionality and Strategy, and receiving category awards in Wealth Management and Managed Services for Convertibles and Equity‑Linked Instruments.
These scores reflect the depth and integration of FIS’s Cross‑Asset Trading and Risk (CATR) suite. CATR brings together cross‑asset trading, portfolio and risk management, pricing, and analytics within a single platform, allowing firms to execute complex trading and investment strategies without the need for disparate, point‑solution stitching. By delivering a comprehensive toolkit that supports everything from multi‑asset order routing to real‑time risk monitoring, FIS demonstrates the functional breadth that the BuySideRisk50 methodology rewards.
Category Leader in Chartis CLM Solutions 2026
In the Chartis CLM Solutions 2026 report, FIS was placed in the Category Leader quadrant for CIB—a designation reserved for vendors that demonstrate strength across the broadest set of capabilities while showing clear execution of core strategy and innovation. Among the 14 vendors evaluated, FIS achieved the highest policy‑management score, underscoring its ability to provide automated policy updates, customizable compliance frameworks, and dynamic risk‑based enforcement embedded directly into client‑onboarding workflows.
The report also highlighted FIS’s expanding capabilities in fund services, an area of growing strategic focus for institutions that manage complex client structures and operate across multiple jurisdictions. By integrating fund‑service functionality with its CLM platform, FIS helps organizations navigate multi‑jurisdictional regulatory requirements, streamline reporting, and maintain consistent compliance standards across diverse investment products.
Executive Perspective
Andrés Choussy, President of Capital Markets at FIS, said compliance “is no longer a discrete function that sits at either end of the investment lifecycle.” He added that as institutions expand into private assets, credit markets and more complex client structures, comprehensive compliance across the lifecycle “is becoming a defining factor in technology selection.”
Sid Dash, Chief Researcher at Chartis, noted that FIS’s No. 1 placing “reflects several key capabilities… its breadth of services, tools and platform functionality enable it to address the needs of a wide variety of buy‑side players, from private credit providers and traditional asset managers through to specialist hedge funds.”

FinanceInsyte's Take
The dual Chartis accolades validate FIS’s strategy of offering end‑to‑end compliance technology, a factor that may influence technology‑selection decisions for buy‑side institutions confronting broader regulatory scopes. While the rankings confirm strong product breadth, buyers should monitor how FIS translates these capabilities into measurable risk‑reduction outcomes and whether future updates maintain the same level of policy‑management performance.
