Torstone – Simplifying Post-TradeTorstone – Simplifying Post-Trade

Growing competition, increasing regulatory pressure and tightening margins mean sell-side firms must find new ways to do more with less. Our customers are constantly striving to control costs, drive growth and improve business performance, all while maintaining regulatory compliance.

One area where they can affect the greatest change is post-trade. Historically, the post-trade environment has suffered from a lack of investment in technology, compared to other parts of the capital markets value chain. The result is a prevalence of disparate, poorly integrated legacy systems to manage middle- and back-office processes. This fragmentation hinders the post-trade workflow, making it difficult to access crucial information exactly where and when it’s needed.

Torstone’s post-trade platform InfernoTM was originally built by and for a global investment bank. At the core of its design is the ability to flex to new requirements.

You can manage the entire cross-asset post-trade workflow - from trade capture and confirmation, settlement and accounting, through to reconciliation, all on a single, integrated platform.

Because Torstone InfernoTM is cloud-based, you can reduce your investment in infrastructure and focus more on what’s important to your business. Just think, if you can save time managing your back-end processes, you’ll have more resources to service your customers and pass on additional benefits and savings.

Inferno’s real-time, event-driven, service-oriented architecture provides you with multi-asset, multi-entity and multi-discipline capability. You can automate processes and drive extremely high rates of straight-through processing with rapid resolution of exceptions.

Added to this, the Torstone team brings many decades of experience in technology, investment banking and the global financial markets. The result is a platform that’s agile, secure and cost-effective and a strategic partner equipped to support your future growth.
