SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MATCHLESS POST-TRADE PROCESSING
Techniques for managing the trading of financial instruments using a central utility including one or more storage devices for storing a set of rules for confirmation in the trading of financial instruments. One or more processors are operatively coupled to the storage devices and one or more transmitters and receivers and configured to receive trade messages sent over a network between a buy-side party and a sell-side party, validate the trade messages between the parties, and generate an electronic file including an enriched trade report based on at least the trade messages, the set of rules, and allocation information including one or more trades. The electronic file including the enriched trade report is transmitted over the network to at least one of the buy-side party and the sell-side party.
