WHITE PAPER: LATE CASH SETTLEMENTS AND LONG TRADE-TO-PAYMENT RECONCILIATIONS PROCESS DENTING BOTTOM LINE OF UK FUND FIRMS

UK fund firms reveal how late cash settlements and continued problems reconciling trades to payments continue to burden the funds industry as they seek to achieve growth in a challenging environment according to a Calastone settlement survey.

  • Credit risk exposure – 61% 
  • Cost implications posed by the lengthy administrative burden – 56%
