front office challenges and related services
cost transparency
Prior to executing a strategy, how much do you know about the overall impact or your choices?
Do you know how your strategy will be affected by:
- The impact of IM over the lifetime of the portfolio?
- The cost of funding margin assets?
- Fees from brokers or CCPs?
- Mandatory routing rules?
routing strategy
The OTC market now has regulations which determine where you can execute a trade and when you need to clear it.
The choice of trading venue and CCP has a material effect on price, as does your choice of brokers in relation to those venues.
Prior to execution do you know?
- Which trading platforms you must use?
- Which trades must be cleared at a CCP?
- Which brokers can execute or clear for you?
- What quotes are available within this framework?
- The all-in-price for your trades?
- Whether you have limits available?
improved returns
Individual trade decisions taken on a day-to-day basis can undermine portfolio returns. In the long term you need the tools to understand your portfolio behaviour.
Do you know:
- How your portfolio will consume margin over its lifetime?
- What options there are to compress your cleared portfolio and reduce capital?
- Which trades could be moved into clearing to reduce IM?
- How margin costs are attributed to strategies, portfolios and funds?
