OSTTRA has acquired HUB, a SaaS provider of AI-enabled solutions that automate investment operations.
The acquisition aims to further advance OSTTRA’s strategy of post-trade transformation, combining its network scale with HUB’s technology, and allowing OSTTRA to provide investment managers with a unified foundation to streamline operations and reduce risk.
The addition of HUB complements OSTTRA’s existing solutions for buy side trade processing, portfolio reconciliation, optimisation, and margin management.
Integrating HUB’s AI-enabled capabilities will enable further innovation to replace manual, spreadsheet-heavy processes with automated, real-time oversight to improve productivity, data accuracy, and control.
Existing HUB customers will continue to receive the same levels of service and support across all HUB solutions. Over time, these clients will benefit from deeper integration with the OSTTRA network, offering enhanced connectivity and broader trade lifecycle services.
Guy Rowcliffe and John Stewart, co-CEOs of OSTTRA, comment: “Our ambition is to build an intelligent ecosystem where every trade moves seamlessly through its lifecycle.
“HUB’s AI-powered solutions perfectly complement our existing network.
“By bringing the HUB team into OSTTRA, we are strengthening our commitment to the buy side, turning shared infrastructure into shared benefit for the investment management community.”
Upon completion of the acquisition, Paul Taylor, CEO of HUB, will be stepping down from his role, with the remaining HUB team continuing to focus on the support and evolution of HUB services, while contributing to the OSTTRA innovation roadmap over time, applying their expertise in AI, data orchestration, and investment management workflows to solve persistent industry challenges.
Paul Taylor, CEO of HUB, states: “We built HUB with a clear conviction, to transform manual, fragmented workflows through modern data architecture and AI.
“Over the past few years, our focus has been building a platform that customers genuinely rely on.
