ClearStructure Financial Technology LLC, providers of a portfolio management platform, announced Knight Libertas, a subsidiary of Knight Capital Group, Inc., has implemented ClearStructure’s Sentry for Syndicated Loan Trading (“Sentry LT”) to support trading and operations on the firm’s syndicated loan desk.

“We are very pleased to be working with Knight to bring our trademark functionality and technological superiority to their syndicated loan trading operations,” said Jeremy Hintze, COO of ClearStructure. “ClearStructure’s extensive experience in the syndicated loan markets will help to power Knight’s services in the evolving syndicated loan market.”

Knight sought a single, complete solution that would bring trade/settlement workflow and streamline operations, as well as a real-time P&L.; By implementing Sentry LT, Knight gains a complete front-to-back office package allowing for enhanced and customisable workflow to meet the specific requirements of providing liquidity in the secondary syndicated loan markets. Functionality includes trade capture, real-time P&L; and position reporting, trade workflow and trade risk analysis.

Scott Turley, CEO of ClearStructure, said, “Leading participants in the syndicated loan markets recognise the need to increase efficiencies and optimise workflow while minimizing risk and are seeking solutions to help them achieve these goals. We are delighted to be supporting Knight.”

Knight will deploy Sentry LT at their Greenwich, CT and London offices. Sentry LT was designed specifically for traders in the syndicated bank loan market and leverages the latest in web-based technology to deliver functionality and efficiency to loan trading operations.
