Trade confirmation and local matching
Salerio provides a truly global solution for trade management across multiple asset classes. It interfaces seamlessly with DTCC’s CTM™ service to manage securities confirmation and matching events within its central hub. Local matching of trade records from counterparties supports asset types such as exchange trades futures. Foreign exchange matching via SWIFT messages from counterparties.
Trade settlement and messaging
Salerio generates validated settlement instructions in SWIFT, email and fax formats. It validates Standard Settlement Instructions (SSI) via a locally stored database. This approach ensures accuracy, which in turn significantly reduces settlement risk in line with CSDR regulations.
Trade tracking (failed trade management)
Salerio tracks settlement status updates received from global custodians via SWIFT messages, providing users with a real-time view of all pre-settlement and failed trade issues. Users can track failed trades, partial settlements effectively, thereby greatly reducing the risk of buy-ins and penalty payments.
Salerio Modules and Connectivity
Salerio supports three business processes within the middle office: confirmation, settlement and tracking. Within those business functions are modules performing different tasks. Salerio integrates internal platforms (order management, accounting and position keeping) and information from external parties (brokers, counterparties, custodians and interested parties).

key benefits
Governance
Salerio brings governance, control, and consistency to the post-execution trade process, which together reduce settlement risk and increase operational efficiency, complying with regulation such as CSDR.
Scalability
Salerio reduces high volume traffic to exceptions management protocols, releasing operational staff to focus on important issues outside of standard, automated trade processing. Up to 30,000 trades a day are easily managed by two or three people.
Simplification
Avoid the tedious manual process of checking data from different systems, data sources and counterparties. Have a view of the complete chain of events and manage them by exceptions. With the right options and controls to hand, issues can be resolved quickly, with full audit visibility.
Deployment
Salerio is not a toolkit, it is a complete, quick to implement modular solution, built on a standard model approach. Whether installed on a local network or hosted in a private cloud, each Salerio module can be installed in weeks, not months.
how it works
A standard model for all
The days of lengthy projects with long drawn-out product and user configuration for your business and IT teams – even before you get to detailed UAT activities, must be put behind us. Solutions need to be quick and easy to deploy by the companies that buy them.
Salerio is a working product not a toolkit; built on a standard model principle, with all modules available to our entire client base and easily controlled by licence agreements. This enables fast implementation times for each Salerio module (weeks, not months) and predictable implementation costs.
Salerio also provides an easy upgrade path, with new functionality and the latest technology available for implementation without fuss, always keeping your teams on top of new developments.
Move quickly and with confidence – our rapid implementation times remove the fear of those dreaded, open-ended IT projects that all too often never seem to close properly, be on time or within budget.
