OTC Lifecycle Manager

OTC Lifecycle Manager is a unique asset servicing solution that solves the most important transition from deal negotiation to contract capture and downstream asset servicing. Purpose-built for the buy-side middle office, it delivers investment control throughout the contract origination to system-of-record cycle including event status management.

Operating in an environment of constant change, investment managers need to respond to ever more demanding clients and handle increasingly sophisticated and complex investment products. Firms must balance the demands of clients for improved returns whilst ensuring risks are carefully and transparently managed, meeting the requirements of both senior management and Regulators. Usage of OTC derivatives is growing globally and firms increasingly require greater transparency to manage their counterparty risk.

OTC Lifecycle Manager integrates with your existing systems and architecture through a flexible web-based cost-effective deployment by complementing rather than replacing your current systems.

Meeting the challenges of OTC derivatives requires adaptable tools and robust, flexible infrastructures to deliver improved efficiency in post-trade processing and providing a clear view of the clearing relationships. OTC Lifecycle Manager is a highly scalable solution, which can grow with your business. It permits new instruments to be added quickly and easily, cutting the time to market for new products. OTC Lifecycle manager should be the first building block of any OTC operational improvement project.
