Our areas of expertise

Securities Services and Post-Trade

Post-trade ready for increasingly demanding operational windows.

T+1, CSDR, and the evolution towards ISO 20022 and SCoRE are reducing the time available to process instructions, resolve exceptions, and complete settlement.

ARENA brings expertise in post-trade, settlement, corporate actions, financial messaging, and reconciliation to help financial institutions reduce manual intervention and strengthen operational control.

T+1 AND SETTLEMENT

Less time to complete the post-trade cycle

T+1 compresses allocations, confirmations, instructions and funding. Processes that rely on delayed information or manual intervention need to adapt to shorter operational windows.

SETTLEMENT EFFICIENCY

Greater visibility into fails and exception causes

Settlement efficiency depends on quickly identifying pending instructions, fail causes and discrepancies across systems, and prioritising the actions that require intervention.

CORPORATE ACTIONS

Greater control over events, positions and instructions

Corporate actions require coordination across announcements, positions, options, elections and instructions. The evolution towards SCoRE and ISO 20022 reinforces the need for structured data and more automated processes.
