Structure

edit

To understand STP, you need to understand the concepts of the front office, middle office, and back office (see Figure 1-13). These are, role-wise, the segregation in a member’s office or trading institution’s office.

Front Office

edit

The front office is responsible for trading. In a broker’s office, the front office speaks to various customers and solicits business. The front-office staff is also responsible for managing orders and executing them.

The FO forms the stage where the trade gets initiated. Here, the order gets placed and the entity will price the instrument and give the quote to the counterparty. If the counterparty agrees to the details of the trade and is willing to enter into the deal, the trade gets executed. The trade is then captured in the trading desk usually using a deal capture system. The deal capture system validates all the necessary trade economics before assigning a trade reference number. Subsequent trade events like amendment, cancellation would refer to the trade with the help of the identifier. An acknowledgement is being sent to the counterparty with the trade details who confirms it back.

Middle Office

edit

The middle office is also responsible for reporting, especially where corporate-level reporting is required.

The important function that MO performs is to do the Limits and Risk Management. The Limits are being calculated at a business hierarchy level. The usual hierarchy would be at a Portfolio level and subsequently aggregating to a Trader Level, a Desk Level, an Entity Level, and finally to a Group Level. Validations are being done on the trade captured, and in case of any discrepancy, an exception is being raised.

Back Office

edit

The back-office staff is responsible for settling transactions. The back office ensures that all obligations toward the clearing corporation are met seamlessly and that the member receives its share during pay-out. While this entire process is happening, the middle office monitors all limits and exposures, and thus risks, that the firm is assuming.

The BO is the back bone of the entire life cycle of the trade. The BO mostly deals with the operational activities like record keeping, confirmation, settlement and regulatory reporting. In most cases, BO activities are being outsourced to cheaper sources to cut down on costs for the company.

Since a broker’s office is organized into front, middle, and back offices, solution providers structure their products in the same fashion in the form of modules. Although many vendors provide solutions for all three sections, it is not mandatory for a broker to buy all three modules from the same vendor. If a broker goes for different vendors, though, then they have an issue of intermodule communication. Most brokers want all the three modules to be integrated. If they are not, then data will have to be entered multiple times in these modules. To obviate from this problem, brokers rely on a concept called STP (see Figure 1-14).
