Financial Instruments

The constant innovation of financial instruments and asset classes has dramatically increased in recent years. While this represents new investment opportunities, it also poses new operational cost challenges. Organisations with holdings ranging from exchange-traded instruments to non-standardised, complex derivatives or structured product, are often obliged to manage these instruments in multiple systems. This requirement is primarily due to the lack of coverage offered by their principal portfolio management system, which can increase the cost of investing in these instrument types. It is therefore essential for organisations to have a long-term strategic cost management framework in place that can address these operational cost challenges.
