In today’s fast-moving capital markets, post-trade operations are under increasing pressure to be faster, cleaner, and more resilient. Firms that want to reduce costs and operational risk need to think strategically about how they approach transformation. In this session, we’ll explore three key focus areas:

• Taking stock of your current systems, workflows, and vendor dependencies.
• Are you prioritising cost reduction, risk mitigation, faster settlement, or improved client experience?
• How regulatory initiatives like the move to T+1 settlement, expanded reporting requirements and evolving margin rules are reshaping the post-trade landscape for asset managers.
  

• How can firms leverage technology to provide tailored services while maintaining operational efficiency? 
• What are the risks of over-customization in investment operations, and how can they be mitigated? 
• How can firms create modular operational frameworks that balance flexibility and efficiency?
