Chris Blanchard

VP, Head of Alternative Investment Operations Fidelity

Main Day 1 | 23rd February

12:15 Panel: Enabling Straight Through Processing: Which tools are redesigning the end-to-end lifecycle from execution to settlement to support more complex products?

  • Where are the most persistent and costly points of friction in the end-to-end trade lifecycle today — and are they getting better or worse as complexity grows?
  • What does a genuinely straight-through processing model require in terms of data quality, system connectivity and operational design — and how close are leading firms to achieving it?
  • How do compressing settlement timelines and the prospect of 24-hour markets expose weaknesses in lifecycle architecture that firms have previously been able to absorb?
  • What governance and escalation structures ensure that exceptions are resolved at the right level — quickly enough to avoid settlement failure without creating operational risk?
