Asset Manager Toolkit for Commission Management, Contracts, Budgets, and Reporting
For asset managers
The full commission management suite, built from modular blocks. Start with the piece that hurts today and expand from the same integrated library.
Commission management changes shape every few years as market structure and regulation move, and a packaged system tends to be replaced with it. The Asset Manager Toolkit is built from modules instead: start with the one that hurts today, add the next when it is needed, and keep the workflows that already work.
Each module runs on its own or with the others. A firm can use only the vote, or only trade reporting, or the full CSA workflow from reconciliation to research payment, with brokers individually or through an aggregator, and stay in control of every step.
What it does
- Trade reporting kiosk
- Activity across every asset class, venue and order management system, answered by the team that asks rather than by programmers, pivot tables or a data warehouse.
- CSA management
- The full CSA workflow, from trade reconciliation to payments for research, with or without an aggregator.
- CSA or P&L budgeting
- Research budgets by firm, fund or client, with a holdings engine linking client information to each budget, and contract and renewal tracking alongside.
- Votes and reviews
- Top-level and hierarchical reviews, with or without interactions and analyst reviews, value-weighted valuations, and a scorecard builder.
- Trade unbundling
- Pre-split CSA information or Castine's own unbundling engine, for balances across all brokers and aggregators, with unlimited OMS connectivity.
- Reconciliation
- A multi-pass, multi-mapping engine with tunable tolerances.
- Compliance
- Due diligence for MiFID II, 28(e), cyber, KYC, KYV and employees, with risk scoring.
