The Challenge

Many buy-side investment managers and service providers face increasing operational, compliance and reputational risks and cost due to inefficient, fragmented post-trade processes caused by manual processes, siloed or inefficient workflows, inadequate solutions, and incomplete or erroneous data. This creates problems with staff productivity, duplicate effort across middle- and back-office functions, and ineffective trade reconciliation, investigations, and exception management. In addition, firms may also struggle with setting up accurate client fee billing, safeguarding failed trades, and collecting and normalising external data from custodians and other entities required for a wide range of post-trade processes.
