CLIENT SEGREGATION & COLLATERAL OPTIMIZATION
Protect Client Assets. Reduce Funding Costs. Optimize Your Balance Sheet. Looking to strengthen control over client assets, streamline collateral usage, and deliver transparency across all financing and liquidity workflows? Softek provides the automation, oversight, and configurability financial institutions need to safeguard client assets and deploy collateral with maximum efficiency.
POWERING THE CORE OF CLIENT PROTECTION & COLLATERAL EFFICIENCY
Softek delivers advanced functionality designed specifically for broker‑dealers, prime brokers, stock loan & repo desks, hedge funds, and proprietary trading firms.
Our platform ingests and analyzes settlement, financing, and collateral activity from internal and external systems—allowing operations, treasury, risk, and compliance teams to meet regulatory obligations while optimizing the use of pledge able assets. Dynamic rulesets ensure that assets are properly valued, tagged, and allocated, while real‑time optimization tools help you deploy collateral across PB, CCP, bilateral, and tri‑party relationships at the lowest possible cost. With complete flexibility, your firm can configure workflows to match internal procedures, legal agreements, and client‑specific rules—supporting consistent and scalable operations.
CONTROL & CONFIGURE
Built around supervisory and regulatory frameworks—SEC Rule 15c3‑3, CASS, global margin rules, capital requirements, and internal WSPs—Softek empowers your teams to define how client‑segregated assets and collateral movements are processed from entry to allocation.
Key supervision and automation capabilities include:
-
Automatic client‑seg vs. house‑seg identification
-
Collateral eligibility and haircut modeling
-
Optimization across bilateral, CCP, PB, and tri‑party workflows
