London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Post Trade Solutions has launched TradeAgent, a new post-trade processing platform.
The platform has been developed in collaboration with more than 10 banks and buy side firms to deliver practical solutions to post-trade processing challenges and meet evolving market needs.
Annabel Harrison, head of agent services, Post Trade Solutions, LSEG, says: “TradeAgent provides the market with a true end-to-end trade processing solution that simplifies and provides an alternative confirmation process.
“Powered by LSEG’s proven market infrastructure expertise, TradeAgent replaces duplicative processes with a single source of trade and agreement data.”
TradeAgent uses modern technology to help industry participants reduce costs and risks associated with cleared and bilateral derivative processing, and for equity and interest rate swaps by standardising the full post-trade lifecycle.
The platform aims to deliver enhanced post-trade processing by providing clients access to centralised, authoritative data that drives standardisation and automation across workflows.
By bringing the benefits of cleared workflows to the bilateral derivatives space, LSEG says TradeAgent will enhance accuracy in cashflow calculations, prevent breaks and valuation disputes, and mitigate counterparty and funding risk through centralised margin and settlement services, resulting in a “significant reduction” in operational risk and end-to-end processing costs.
TradeAgent operates using an open, scalable platform that will enable current and future products and services to operate directly off a central, authoritative data store.
Post Trade Solutions brings together TradeAgent, Quantile, Acadia, and SwapAgent, services to drive additional operational and cost efficiencies.
Andrew Longmuir, head of Global Markets Operations, Barclays, comments: “Efficient and resilient post-trade processing is essential to reducing both risk and cost in the bilateral derivatives market.
“TradeAgent simplifies a complex industry landscape by replacing fragmented confirmation workflows with standardised, automated processes, lowering operational cost, improving accuracy, and driving sustainable efficiency.”
Nicholas Van Aardt, global head of Fixed Income Middle Office and Commodities Operations, Citi, adds: “Working with LSEG and market participants to develop TradeAgent highlights the industry’s need for solutions that bring standardisation, centralisation, and automation to post-trade processing.
“The launch of TradeAgent is an important milestone in meeting these needs and the evolving requirements of the OTC derivatives space.”
