Why we invested in OSTTRA

Every day, trillions of dollars flow through global financial markets across currencies, rates, credit, and equities. Behind each transaction is a complex network of confirmations, margin, clearing, and regulatory checks that must work seamlessly to keep markets stable. As volumes rise and structures become more complex, this supporting infrastructure has become just as critical as the trading itself. That is why we chose to invest in OSTTRA, a company that powers this essential layer of the financial system.

Modern infrastructure for a more demanding market

Global financial markets now operate across time zones, asset classes, and trading venues, generating vast volumes of transactions that must be processed, cleared, and reported with speed and accuracy. As derivatives, FX, and securities markets continue to grow in scale and complexity, firms face increasing pressure to manage risk, meet regulatory requirements, and maintain operational resilience across fragmented market structures.

OSTTRA provides the infrastructure that brings these moving parts together. Its platform connects market participants across clearing, margin, settlement, and reporting, enabling firms to streamline post-trade workflows, reduce risk, and operate more efficiently in a constantly evolving market environment.

A platform built for scale, complexity, and change

OSTTRA operates at the core of global financial markets, supporting thousands of institutions and handling a significant share of global derivatives and FX post-trade activity. Its infrastructure is designed to manage high volumes, diverse products, and evolving market structures—allowing firms to adapt as trading models, clearing arrangements, and regulations continue to change.

The platform brings together workflows that are often fragmented across multiple systems, helping firms reduce operational risk, improve transparency, and optimize the use of capital and collateral. By enabling straight-through processing and real-time visibility across the post-trade lifecycle, OSTTRA allows market participants to operate more efficiently in increasingly complex markets.

A strategic investment in market resilience

Our investment in OSTTRA reflects our conviction that strong, modern post-trade infrastructure is essential to the stability and growth of global financial markets. As trading volumes rise, products become more sophisticated, and regulatory expectations increase, institutions will continue to rely on platforms that can deliver reliability, scalability, and connectivity.
