The Reality

Fragmented infrastructure,
compounding risk

Capital markets run on dozens of overlapping systems with no single source of truth. Every manual handoff is an operational risk. Every reconciliation delay is a regulatory exposure.

Fragmented market feeds

Trading desks pull from Bloomberg, Refinitiv, and internal systems simultaneously. Each feed has its own schema, latency profile, and failure mode. Reconciling across them is a daily exercise in spreadsheet forensics.

Manual reconciliation

Operations teams spend hours matching trades across front, middle, and back office. Breaks surface late, escalate slowly, and consume expensive human capital on mechanical work.

Opaque risk exposure

Risk aggregation depends on overnight batch jobs and manual overrides. Portfolio managers make decisions on stale data. Counterparty exposure becomes visible only after thresholds are breached.

Regulatory pressure

MiFID II, Dodd-Frank, and Basel III demand real-time reporting and full auditability. Most firms bolt compliance onto legacy stacks, creating parallel systems that drift from the trading reality they are supposed to monitor.

What Axiom Delivers

Governed intelligence
for capital markets

Purpose-built capabilities for trading, risk, and compliance operations. Each runs on the same four-plane kernel with full audit provenance.

01

Real-Time Risk Aggregation

Unify trading positions, market data, and counterparty information into a single canonical risk model. Support VaR computation, stress scenarios, and exposure limit monitoring across desks and geographies.

RiskReal-TimeCross-Desk
02

Trading Surveillance

Detect anomalous trading patterns across unified order flow with governed AI agents. Explainable alerts surface suspicious activity with full lineage to source transactions and market conditions.

03

Reconciliation Automation

Governed workflows reconcile positions across OMS, prime brokers, and custodians. Breaks are flagged rapidly, investigated with automated root-cause analysis, and corrective actions are recorded in the audit ledger.

Portfolio Intelligence

Canonical view across all holdings, strategies, and exposures. Portfolio managers, risk officers, and compliance teams each see governed views scoped to their role and mandate.

Counterparty Exposure Management

Real-time counterparty exposure tracking with governed alerting. Limit breaches trigger escalation workflows and surface position adjustment recommendations with full audit provenance.

Axiom

Operational intelligence,
not another dashboard

Data Plane

Ingest market data feeds, OMS/EMS events, risk system outputs, and regulatory reporting data with real-time and batch normalization.

Ontology Plane

Model instruments, counterparties, portfolios, and risk factors as typed objects. Exposure chains and regulatory hierarchies encoded as governed relationships.

Governance Plane

Policy frameworks aligned with MiFID II, Dodd-Frank, and Basel III. Chinese walls, purpose-of-use policies, and break-glass with mandatory justification.

Action Plane

Governed write-back to OMS, risk systems, and regulatory platforms. Idempotent trade corrections, limit adjustments, and compliance submissions.

Operational Impact

From manual processes
to governed automation

Typical scenarios from capital markets operations. The difference between mechanical reconciliation and governed intelligence.

01

Reconciliation Break

Today

An operations analyst discovers a position mismatch between the OMS and prime broker at 4pm. They open a spreadsheet, pull reports from three systems, and spend two hours tracing the discrepancy to a missed cancel/replace. The correction is submitted the next morning.

With Syntropic

Axiom flags the mismatch shortly after the cancel/replace event. A governed workflow investigates the break, identifies the likely root cause, and proposes a correction. The analyst reviews and approves. The correction is submitted with full audit trail.

02

Cross-Desk Risk

Today

A risk manager requests consolidated exposure to a sovereign counterparty. The report requires data from three desks across two time zones. It arrives the next morning, already stale, assembled manually from desk-level extracts.

With Syntropic

Axiom maintains a real-time canonical model of counterparty exposure across all desks. The risk manager queries the unified model directly. Results are current, governed, and traceable to source positions.

03

Regulatory Response

Today

A regulator requests transaction records for a specific instrument over a 90-day period. Compliance pulls data from three systems, deduplicates manually, and spends a week preparing the response. Inconsistencies between systems require explanations.

With Syntropic

The canonical model enables rapid response. Transactions carry provenance from source system through normalization to the submitted record. Audit trail is attached automatically.

Regulatory Alignment

Built for the regulatory reality
of global capital markets

MiFID II

Supports transaction reporting, best execution analysis, and systematic internaliser obligations.

Dodd-Frank

Supports swap reporting workflows, clearing mandate tracking, and position limit monitoring.

Basel III

Supports capital adequacy data aggregation, liquidity reporting, and counterparty credit risk visibility.

SOX

Audit trails, access controls, and data lineage designed to support SOX compliance workflows.
