Permanently reduce operations costs while maintaining control
We leverage our industry and process knowledge, our assets and our broad network of alliances and partners to help clients transform their middle and back office operations.
Why transform middle and back offices?
Many investment banks are dealing with falling revenues, stricter regulations and stagnant cost-to-income ratios. While costs will vary depending on a bank’s specific business mix and operating model, middle and back office costs usually make up a significant portion of an investment bank’s total spending. Operations leaders are therefore under pressure to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
89%
of investment banks and asset managers say their ability to create business value will increasingly depend on their technology infrastructure.
The number of equity trades has increased 5-fold since 2017, while trade values have generally decreased year on year since then.
Our transaction processing as-a-service capability offers settlement in more than 70 markets, while settling over 250.000 transactions on average daily.
What you can do
Implement end-to-end process management solutions that can support typical capital markets operations processes (e.g., securities trade settlement).
Leverage as-a-service models, such as Accenture’s multi-client trade processing service, to reduce processing costs, adapt to new regulations and increase speed to market.
Equip your operations talent with the right technology and tools to drive improved business outcomes through streamlining processes and creating new capabilities.
Prepare for the future of settlement, which will likely consist of a variable settlement window, including T+0 options. Whether mandated by regulation or as a result of market change, same-day settlement is on the horizon.
