Capital markets & digital assets
Where we are usually engaged
Venue and desk infrastructure
Order handling, matching, quote handling and trade capture, with the settlement instruction feed treated as the product it is.
Issuance and the register
Transfer restriction, the authoritative register of holders, and its reconciliation against a transfer agent.
Custody boundaries
Which balances are held, by whom, under what approval, and how a client’s position is proven at a point in time.
The question we ask first
What does your firm have to be able to prove about a position, to whom, and how quickly?
The proof obligation decides the architecture. Most desks discover theirs during a first audit rather than during a design review.
