Connected securities finance - Controlled from trade to settlement
Framesoft Repo & Securities Lending (FRS) gives front, middle and back office teams a connected environment to manage repo, securities lending and collateral-driven workflows. From agreement-aware trade capture and intelligent allocation to collateral optimization, margining, settlement, regulatory reporting and forecasting, FRS brings the complete operating process into a controlled platform.
Framesoft Artificial Intelligence (FAI) is embedded across the FRS workflow. It turns connected trade, inventory, counterparty and collateral data into usable context, recommendations, validations and early exception signals - while FRS remains the system of record and all actions stay subject to permissions, approvals and human review.
Trade. Allocate. Collateralize. Settle. Control.
TRADE
Capture new repo and securities lending transactions quickly, find securities and counterparties, and manage amendments, partial or full returns, cancellations, rollovers, repricing, rate changes and lender substitutions. Apply master-agreement terms, eligibility schedules, concentration limits, haircuts and counterparty-specific rules directly within the workflow. FAI identifies relevant terms, validates inputs and highlights conflicts or missing information before execution.
ALLOCATE
See available and lendable positions by configurable type. Match borrowing demand to inventory through flexible allocation rules, open qualifying trades automatically and route exceptions as reviewable trade suggestions. Optimize allocations and substitutions by availability, haircut, funding cost, liquidity, concentration and operational constraints. FAI forecasts inventory shortfalls and recall pressure, compares alternatives and recommends the next-best eligible action.
COLLATERAL
Value positions and collateral, calculate exposure by counterparty and manage daily margin requirements. Generate and process margin calls, monitor disputes, ageing and escalation, and retain supporting evidence. FRS identifies under-collateralization and proposes allocations or substitutions using available borrower inventory. FAI detects valuation anomalies, explains exposure changes and recommends collateral movements that release scarce or expensive assets.
SETTLE
Create and monitor settlement instructions, coordinate queued future returns, value dates and amounts, and synchronize dependent lifecycle events. Automate recalls and return instructions, reconcile status across counterparties and infrastructure, prioritize breaks and manage settlement failures through resolution. Connect in real time with custodians, tri-party agents, CSDs and CCPs. FAI classifies exceptions, identifies likely causes and recommends resolution steps.
CONTROL
Calculate fees for individual trades, books or portfolios; support daily and period P&L; supervise credit and liquidity exposure; and manage corporate actions. Prepare, validate and submit SFT lifecycle, valuation and collateral data for regulatory regimes such as SFTR, including modification, termination and collateral-update events. FAI monitors data quality, explains movements and drafts review-ready operational, risk, regulatory and management reports.
FRS provides the operating platform - FAI supports every action that benefits from intelligence
FRS supplies the transaction model, agreement controls, positions, allocation and optimization logic, valuation and margin workflows, lifecycle and settlement processing, fee engine, regulatory reporting, real-time integrations and control framework. FAI works inside the governed environment to support users without replacing contractual rules, valuation sources, risk limits, approval authorities or specialist judgement.
Across the lifecycle, FAI can:
- surface the most relevant inventory, counterparty, trade and collateral context;
- recommend allocations, substitutions and next-best actions for review;
- forecast inventory, collateral and liquidity requirements;
- validate completeness and consistency before processing;
- detect unusual fees, exposures, margin calls, lifecycle events or settlement exceptions;
- explain P&L, collateral movements, regulatory data and operational changes in plain language;
- prioritize exceptions and draft review-ready summaries or reports; and
- provide permission-aware semantic access to FRS information.
Built for controlled automation
- Agreement-aware lifecycle management: Apply contractual terms, eligibility, limits and haircuts while supporting returns, cancellations, rollovers, repricing, rate changes and lender substitutions.
- Optimized allocation and STP: Automate qualifying allocations and trade openings, forecast shortages and rank collateral or substitution options using economic and operational constraints.
- Valuation, margin and dispute control: Maintain current positions and exposure, issue margin calls, manage disputes and preserve evidence across the collateral lifecycle.
- Settlement and exception management: Automate instructions, recalls and returns; reconcile status; and manage breaks or settlement fails through resolution.
- Fees, P&L and regulatory reporting: Calculate fees and P&L at trade, book or portfolio level and prepare validated lifecycle, valuation and collateral reports.
- Real-time enterprise integration: Use APIs and event-driven connectivity with in-house systems, custodians, tri-party agents, CSDs, CCPs, trade repositories and market-data platforms.
- Governed decisions: Apply permissions, approval workflows, evidence and auditability to operational actions and FAI-supported recommendations.
