Trading and execution services Virtu Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIRT) and Limina, a provider of cloud-native Investment Management Solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration around Virtu’s TradeOPS platform.

Virtu’s TradeOPS is a streamlined, consolidated platform that covers clients’ matching, settlements and payment requirements. Designed and built specifically to automate post-trade workflows, including allocation matching and settlements, exception-based processing in TradeOPS is designed to significantly reduce settlement delays, financial penalties, and workload for buyside firms.

Combined with Limina’s cloud-native Order and Portfolio Management System (O/PMS), this collaboration enables buyside firms to access a fully-integrated, front-to-back workflow.

The collaboration has welcomed its first joint client, Cliens, who is now benefiting from Virtu’s TradeOPS capabilities using DTCC-CTM via Limina’s platform.

“We’re excited to work with Limina to deliver an integrated and modern workflow for our TradeOPS clients,” said Pegah Esmaeili, Head of Nordic Region at Virtu. “This integration supports our mission to deliver scalable, outsourced trading solutions by collaborating with innovative local firms like Limina—allowing us to efficiently extend our market-leading products to clients across the region.”

Prem Balasubramanian, Head of Virtu’s TradeOPS platform highlighted that recent changes in post-trade settlement, such as the shift to T+1 and the migration from SWIFT MT to MX, have introduced new operational challenges for buyside firms. “By providing streamlined and effective solutions tailored to clients’ needs, we can significantly reduce the operational burden and allow firms to refocus on what truly matters: managing investments and driving performance.” Prem also added, “Working with Limina is a pleasure. The turnaround has been impressively fast, and we’re looking forward to continued collaboration ahead.”

“This partnership was an obvious choice to further strengthen the integration capabilities of Limina’s Order Management System, not only to DTCC CTM but to all venues that tie into Virtu TradeOPS including SWIFT and more,” says Kristoffer Fürst, CEO of Limina.

“The integrated solution that Virtu and Limina offer Cliens helps us extend our straight-through process, giving time to more productive tasks which adds value to our customer,” says Martin Öqvist, CEO of Cliens.
