Overview

Expertise across the trading lifecycle.

Our experience spans equities, rates, credit, FX, listed derivatives, energy and commodities.

We connect trading and investment requirements with technology, data, risk and operations. Engagements can address a specific execution capability, a platform decision or change across the full trade lifecycle.

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

Strengthen capabilities across the trade lifecycle.

Specialist capabilities across execution, platforms, quantitative development, data, controls and post-trade.

The trade lifecycle

Sell side and buy side run different lifecycles. We work both, end to end.
