Use Cases
Investments Reconciliation
Portfolio integrity from trade to ledger
Investment businesses manage assets across Custodian Banks and Broker/Market Infrastructure, each reporting positions, trades, and corporate actions on their own format and schedule. Simetrik gives investment operations teams continuous control over custody reconciliation, fee validation, and accounting integrity.
The control challenge in investments
Investment operations require continuous alignment between what was traded, what is held in custody, and what the general ledger records. Corporate actions, dividend payments, and fee settlements add complexity at every cycle. Manual reconciliation between the broker, the custodian, and the GL creates misstatements that distort NAV calculations, delay regulatory submissions, and expose the firm to audit risk.
Where control happens in investments
Cash In
- Investment portfolios generate continuous inbound cash events, each requiring confirmation against custodian reports and bank statements.
- Unconfirmed inbound settlements distort NAV calculations and create audit exposure.
- Simetrik integrates internal records, custodian reports, and bank confirmations to validate every inbound cash event at position level.
Cash Out
- Fund redemptions, client distributions, and tax withholdings are high-stakes outbound events — errors generate financial losses and client trust issues.
- Simetrik validates redemption instructions against execution confirmations and bank debits, ensuring every outbound payment is accurate and traceable.
Fees & Billing
- Custody fees, brokerage commissions, and market infrastructure charges accumulate across positions, transactions, and time periods — deviations from contracted terms are hard to detect without automation.
- Simetrik validates fees charged by custodians and brokers against agreed terms and transaction-level expectations, surfacing discrepancies before they affect reported costs.
Accounting Operations
- Position reconciliation between the broker/custodian and the GL must run continuously to ensure NAV accuracy and financial statement integrity.
- Simetrik integrates custodian holdings data, trade records, and ERP GL to run daily reconciliations and support period-end closing with full audit traceability.
