Bringing efficiency to the entire trade lifecycle is the key to decreasing risk. With increased cross border trade activities, the post trade process continues to be complex and challenging for investment firms due to lack of harmonization in market practices.

Both buy and sell side firms are looking to mitigate counterparty and operational risks as well as reduce costs. Recently, the European Commission mandated reducing the settlement cycle for securities to not later than T+2 to be implemented by 2015. This mandate by EC is not only focused at driving market efficiency but also promises to act as an important enabler for the Target2Securities (T2S) implementation program. |
