FIS Ranks No. 1 in Chartis Reports, Reinforcing Its Leadership in Capital Markets Technology
Fidelity National Information Services Inc. (FIS), a prominent player in the financial technology sector, has recently announced that it has secured top rankings in two pivotal Chartis reports. On June 19, 2026, FIS revealed its No. 1 overall ranking in the Chartis BuySideRisk50 and its designation as a Category Leader in the Chartis RiskTech Quadrant® for Client Lifecycle Management (CLM) Solutions for Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB). These accolades underscore FIS’s commitment to providing cutting-edge compliance technology to buy-side institutions amid increasing regulatory complexities.
1. Dominating the BuySideRisk50
The Chartis BuySideRisk50 ranks the leading vendors in buy-side analytics, and FIS's top position is a testament to its comprehensive offerings. The company not only ranked No. 1 overall but also excelled in four out of five scoring criteria, achieving outright wins in crucial areas such as Breadth of Functionality and Strategy. Additionally, FIS garnered category awards in Wealth Management and Managed Services for Convertibles and Equity-Linked Instruments.
These recognitions reflect the robust capabilities of FIS’s Cross Asset Trading and Risk (CATR) suite, which integrates cross-asset trading, portfolio management, risk management, pricing, and analytics. This suite is designed to support intricate trading and investment strategies, making FIS a favored partner for institutions navigating the complexities of the investment landscape.
2. Acknowledged as a Category Leader in CLM Solutions
FIS also earned a prestigious position in the Category Leader quadrant of the Chartis CLM Solutions 2026 report. This designation is reserved for vendors that not only demonstrate a wide array of capabilities but also exhibit exceptional execution of their core strategies and innovations. FIS achieved the highest policy management score among the 14 evaluated vendors, which highlights its ability to deliver automated policy updates, customizable compliance frameworks, and dynamic risk-based enforcement directly within client onboarding workflows.
Furthermore, FIS's strengths in fund services play a critical role in this recognition, as financial institutions are increasingly focused on managing complex client structures and navigating multi-jurisdictional requirements.
3. Insights from Industry Leaders
Andrés Choussy, President of Capital Markets at FIS, commented on these achievements, stating, “Compliance is no longer a discrete function that sits at either end of the investment lifecycle. As financial institutions expand into private assets, credit markets, and more complex client structures, the need for comprehensive compliance across the investment lifecycle and regulatory controls is becoming a defining factor in technology selection.” He emphasized that FIS's performance in the BuySideRisk50 and CLM quadrant reflects the company's commitment to delivering essential solutions for its clients.
Sid Dash, Chief Researcher at Chartis, added, “FIS’s No. 1 placing in our BuySideRisk50 ranking reflects several key capabilities that the company brings to this space. Crucially, 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.”
