• Overseeing of the post-trade allocation process including the outsourced trade support functions and settlement queries.
• Booking of corporate actions, manual trades and recalls.
• Monitoring and reporting on our regulatory position controls such as sanctions, restricted lists, EMIR, 13F, and ESMA.
