Coming soon, the in-depth interview with Wematch in the Securities Finance Times’ Technology Annual, publishing in April 2023. Some of the interview highlights: 

• How Wematch aims to connect market participants and drive the digitisation of the securities finance sector
• How we have built a cross-asset platform that offers optimised workflow and lifecycle management for a variety of financial products, including total return swaps (TRS), interest rate derivatives, equity derivatives, collateralised finance, and securities lending
• Close to 1,000 traders and sales staff at 90 financial institutions are on the platform, which is expanding to deliver wider efficiency to the dealer-to-client (D2C) segment
• Our plans to become the global one-stop-shop for synthetic trading and traditional lending, with a focus on being the number one TRS platform on a global scale
• How we offer automated solutions that extend well beyond trade matching, including an ETF optimiser and collateral optimisation, among others
• Which new components are being added onto our platform: cashflow reconciliation and a new module supporting TRS market data and pre- and post-trade analytics
• Our recent milestone of $150 billion of notional outstanding on our platform globally, with EMEA representing the largest share of this activity at $116 billion
• Our agnostic POV when it comes to where trades are negotiated and executed, as long as the trade details are uploaded to its platform, which supports the downstream workflow and offers a full set of solutions to deliver efficiency across the trade lifecycle
• And how we recognise the potential blurring of the lines between synthetic and traditional lending as a technical challenge and commercial opportunity for the company and the community it supports.
