Saphyre’s automated intelligence streamlines the onboarding and maintenance processes for custody, broker trading, and buy-side accounts, while synchronising associated reference data in real-time. This ensures a real-time golden source of data accessible to all external parties.

Additionally, Saphyre’s solution addresses issues related to failed trades downstream and facilitates real-time collaboration, crucial for meeting upcoming T+1 commitments. 

Stephen Roche, president & co-founder of Saphyre, said: “We’re ecstatic to have ABRDN, a leading financial investment management firm join our endeavor. By deploying our technology ABRDN will maintain data integrity through the lifecycle of a fund. Providing them with speed in the pre-trade thru post-trade processes not for just their firm, but also with their broker and custodial counterparts.”

The startup’s technology digitises pre-trade data and activities across multiple counterparties, maintaining a memory of data and documents. This eliminates the need for clients to search or resubmit information and expedites flow in a digitally structured manner, accessible and understandable by any permissioned counterparty in the finance industry. 

In speeding up the onboarding process, Saphyre claims it eliminates 70%-75% of redundant or inefficient post-trade activities.
