Inferno Post-Trade Securities and Derivatives Processing

 Inferno is a complete securities and derivatives processing solution covering all aspects of back and middle office processing, together with accounting, required in the global financial marketplace. Our technology enables customers to increase productivity, improve processing efficiency and streamline their workflows. Inferno is optimised for high volume straight through processing (STP).

Inferno includes enterprise-level clearing, settlement and integrated accounting; support for  multi-asset, multi-currency and multi-location operations, including high frequency trading and provision of real-time event-driven settlement status and trade accounting. Delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS) Inferno helps to reduce costs by avoiding a capital outlay on systems. Asset classes already processed by the system include equities, bonds, convertible bonds, reverse mortgages, warrants, and equity, fx, insurance, credit and fund derivatives. 

Inferno offers an unprecedented depth of control and discipline which was instilled by industry accountants who helped design the software and who understand the consequence of trading decisions.

Created by industry practitioners  well-experienced in the short-comings of other systems, Inferno meets the needs of regional and mid-sized investment banks, asset managers, hedge funds and brokers and those needing to support multi-asset, multi-currency and multi-location operations.

Points of differentiation

Breadth of product and the sheer scope of Inferno to handle a wide range of instruments, both simple equities and complex derivatives.

Depth of discipline from the middle office to operations, clearing, settlement, global accounting with real-time consolidation of data from multiple front office systems including Bloomberg, Fidessa, Murex, Sungard and Sophis.
