SSCNetSM
Post-Trade Communication Network
There are four areas of potential high costs that can affect post-trade communications today: a lack of systems integration, little external connectivity, limited IT resources and an incompatibility of data formats. SSCNet is a global trade network that reduces those costs by linking investment managers, broker/dealers, custodians and interested parties, facilitating STP (straight through processing) and reducing operational risk.
SSCNet's hosted service is available 24/7 on a highly secure platform, supports multiple formats, and connects you directly to trade counterparties, including networks such as S.W.I.F.T™, DTC™ and Misys® FX Matching Service. As a post-trade communication service, it has a built-in middleware that normalizes data within the network, while its Delivery Instructions Database (DIDB) allows you to maintain standing settlement instructions (SSI) using an intuitive user interface. Best of breed encryption and communication protocols ensure your data is secure, with annual independent audit reviews and strict internal guidelines further guaranteeing data and communication security.
