USE CASE
Holdings & activity:
Derivatives
Reconciling ETD and OTC trade data can be challenging. Fractional pricing, false breaks on time zones or simple language differences, allocating bulk trades all mean additional complexity. With increasing regulatory scrutiny putting more focus on transparency and speed, operational burdens are getting heavier.
Getting it wrong can mean audits and fines from regulators, and they’ll only increase as regulations continue to evolve. Beyond audits and fines, unclear or inaccurate data could obscure risk exposures and impact client reporting.
How Duco adds value
Duco has extensive OTC and ETD derivatives experience across more than 50 buy- and sell-side clients. Learn more about how we also help with exchange traded derivatives clearing and OTC confirmations.
Clients trust us because we offer:

- Higher volume processing and intra-day checks - thanks to our scalable, in-memory architecture
- Advanced total equity capabilities - link processes and save time on root cause analysis and process validation
CHALLENGE
Meeting compressing market timeframes
Timelines are compressing for OTC derivatives, and breaks don’t age well – they become more difficult to resolve the older they get.
BUILD FAST, RECONCILE FASTER
With Duco you can build reconciliations in days, without a large IT project. Running them takes minutes, and with rule-based automated labelling and break assignment, you can cut investigation times to help you meet tight deadlines.
CHALLENGE
Lack of standardisation
Varying data quality from counterparties can lead to manual work normalising and transforming data to even get to the point where a recon can be run.
GO NO-CODE TO CUT MANUAL WORK
Natural Rule Language helps you manage messy or complex data. You can join or split data, link tables and run multiple passes on reference data, with almost no manual intervention.
CHALLENGE
Lack of flexibility
Keeping up with changing regulatory requirements can be challenging with legacy tech. With EMIR and CFTC updates requiring break fixes within seven days, speed, flexibility and streamlined exception handling are ‘must-haves’.
MEET CHANGING REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT MAJOR IT PROJECTS
With Duco, the people who know the data can manage changes quickly, easily and with complete transparency. Changes to parameters are automatically documented for full audibility.
