Across equities, rates, credit, FX, futures, energy and commodities, trading performance depends on the systems behind the desk: workflows, data, controls and the post-trade chain that completes the trade.

Capmark delivers markets and trading change without interrupting live flow. We design the operating model, integrate the data, strengthen the controls and take the change into production.

What is changing

Three shifts changing how trading is run.

01

Execution quality is measurable

Firms need the controls, data and evidence to prove how orders are handled and how execution decisions are made.

02

Settlement windows are compressing

Shorter settlement cycles leave less time to confirm, match, fund and settle every trade.

03

Market infrastructure is moving

Trading, clearing, settlement, data and reporting connectivity must keep pace with changing venues, platforms and infrastructure.

How we can help

Where we do the work.

Six capabilities cover trading change from execution and controls through platforms, data, post-trade and energy trading.
