Industry Challenges

Financial institutions need to be able to process any asset in any currency anywhere in the world, handle growing volumes and increasing costs, and adjust to new operational models. Yet many post-trade processes remain manual and piecemeal, even as regulations create new mandates and requirements.

The post-trade life cycle must be streamlined and automated to minimize risk and enable firms to quickly respond to the latest regulatory requirements as they continue to evolve.

MANAGE RISK AND EXPOSURE

As regulations and business demands evolve, firms need to be able to access, analyze and report information in real-time and across silos. An effective data management strategy is the key to enabling this access and creating a consolidated, real-time view of risk and exposure.

APPLY BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE TO SECURITIES

In the post-trade world, speed of execution is not a differentiator – customer service is. Empower your operations teams through smart clearing and settlement methods that can be applied across multiple accounts and across the fragmented securities market.

UNDERSTAND THE SHIFT TO CENTRAL CLEARING

The shift of the OTC derivatives markets toward a central clearing model will have a tremendous impact across the organization. Silo-based processing groups will no longer be able to operate in isolation, and firms face a variety of new challenges.

AUTOMATE THE OPTIONS LIFECYCLE

Manual processes within the listed derivatives lifecycle, such as option exercise and close out, can hinder an organization’s ability to keep up with growing trade volumes. Firms need better control and improved monitoring of the options lifecycle.
