Trade Matching & Affirmation

Traditional systems often perform “superficial” matching, checking if data fits a specific format (schema) without necessarily understanding the economic relationship between fields. Our CDM-native (Common Domain Model) matching operates at the semantic object level. This means it doesn’t just check if the data “looks” right; it ensures both counterparties have a mathematically and logically identical representation of the trade’s economics, catching deep-seated discrepancies that traditional systems miss.

Absolutely. A major barrier to faster settlement is the manual “exception workflow” caused by trade breaks. By establishing early trade certainty through deterministic matching at the point of entry, our workflow compresses confirmation cycles from days to seconds. This real-time alignment ensures your trades are “settlement-ready” immediately, providing the operational speed necessary for T+1 or atomic settlement environments.

Our workflow eliminates breaks caused by fragmented data schemas and proprietary vendor formats. Because it aligns both counterparties on a single, CDM-based trade record, it removes the root cause of downstream mismatches. By detecting economically meaningful discrepancies early, it prevents the “hidden” errors that typically only surface during mid-lifecycle reconciliations, significantly reducing the need for manual rework and mid-office intervention.
