Your Team

Our Trade operations team plays a critical role in ensuring the smooth execution and settlement of financial transactions through three key activities: trade matching, trade prematching, and settlements.

In trade matching, we compare trade details between our internal systems and those of counterparties to ensure all fields—such as trade date, quantity, price, and counterparty information—are accurately aligned. During prematching, we proactively identify and resolve any discrepancies before the actual settlement date, reducing the risk of trade failure.

Finally, in the settlement process, we coordinate with custodians, brokers, and internal teams to ensure timely and accurate exchange of securities and cash. These activities require precision, collaboration, and a strong understanding of market practices to maintain operational efficiency and client trust.

Your Role
- Match trades between Invesco and brokers and follow up with brokers to resolve any unconfirmed or mismatched trades.
- Investigate trade discrepancies by coordinating with trading desks, custodians, and brokers to ensure timely and accurate settlement.
- Perform trade prematching and take corrective actions for trades not matched in the market to prevent settlement issues.
- Track and report failed trades, liaising with brokers and custodians, and communicate updates to relevant internal teams.
- Monitor broker performance in trade confirmation and settlement and generate analytical reports for review and improvement.
- Process manual trades in accounting systems when required, ensuring accurate booking and reconciliation.
- Maintain and regularly update documentation for global trade processing operational procedures.
- Keep broker and custodian contact sheets, including Standard Settlement Instructions (SSI), up to date for operational accuracy.
