From both sell-side and buy-side firms, we are hearing that a continued priority in 2020 will be reducing costs while ensuring that requisite systems and processes are in place for firms to meet new regulations, including Securities Finance Transaction Regulation and the Settlement Discipline Regime.

Currently, many clients are using these regulatory imperatives to revamp the patchwork of siloed platforms they use for their post-trade processing into fully-integrated and automated systems, which can deliver increased operational efficiencies, lower costs and assist with regulatory compliance. This operational investment is a theme we expect to continue well into the next decade.
