The Investments Operations & Reference Data Technology Team is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the firm's strategic business systems supporting investment trading, post-trade settlement, cash management, cash reconciliation, position keeping and maintaining cash available for trading up-to-date.

Our systems support a diverse range of financial instruments, primarily within Fixed Income, including investment-grade and high-yield bonds, commercial and residential mortgage loans, and various alternative asset-backed securities such as private securitizations. The firm also engages in derivative transactions to hedge risks associated with annuity liabilities originated from the insurance business.

They also maintain accurate reference data across portfolios, legal entities, reinsurance parties, bank accounts, and trust agreements.
