Theorema effectively manages its MIFIR Reporting with SteelEye

“The SteelEye team invested a lot of time in understanding our business and requirements.”
Alex Hughes, Operations Officer, Theorema

Background

In preparation for MiFID II, Theorema Fund Advisors built out internal compliance capabilities to meet their upcoming transaction reporting requirements. However, whilst these were sufficient in meeting the obligations, the manual set up was rather cumbersome. Furthermore, because of their internal set up, Theorema had limited reporting validation tools. This meant that if a report failed, there was no granularity as to why.

REQUIREMENT: 

Theorema wanted a robust reporting tool that would enable them to meet their T+1 reporting requirements through a single platform. With 90% of their trades executed on a single trading platform, they needed a vendor that was fully compatible with their trade flow.
