What is prime brokerage?

Prime brokerage refers to a range of services and infrastructure designed to support professional and institutional participants operating across financial markets.

It can help organisations coordinate market access, trading activity, asset operations and other financial processes within a more structured environment.

Who uses prime brokerage?

Prime brokerage is generally relevant to professional market participants such as:

• Financial institutions

• Asset managers

• Investment firms

• Trading organisations

• Digital asset market participants

• Other professional financial organisations

What does prime brokerage infrastructure support?

Depending on the provider and operating model, prime brokerage infrastructure may support areas such as:

• Institutional market access

• Multi-asset operations

• Execution workflows

• Capital management

• Risk and operational oversight

• Reporting and financial processes

Why is connected infrastructure important?

Institutional market activity often involves multiple systems, asset classes and counterparties.

Fragmented infrastructure can create additional operational complexity and make it more difficult to maintain visibility across financial activity.

A more connected environment can help professional participants coordinate market operations with greater consistency and control.
