SIGRID
OTC POST-TRADE · DESIGN PARTNER PREVIEW

Deterministic trade identity for bilateral OTC matching.

Two counterparties. One canonical trade identity. When terms match, both sides derive the same Sigrid. When they don’t, Sigrid shows the exact field-level break.

ONE IDENTIFIER.
TWO PARTIES. ONE TRUTH.

Built for buy-side and dealer operations teams processing high-volume OTC attestations.

The problem

OTC breaks are not just workflow noise.

Most reconciliation tools show that two records disagree. Sigrid shows why. By deriving identity from canonical trade terms, every match, break, and awaiting item becomes explainable at field level.

Ambiguous trade identity

Internal reference numbers don't translate between counterparties, so every break conversation restarts with identity reconciliation.

Manual exception triage

Analysts stitch screenshots and emails to figure out which field actually disagrees, instead of working the break.

Awaiting items aging toward SLA

Items sit in an awaiting state with no shared owner or visibility until they cross a deadline and become incidents.

Poor lineage across amendments

Amendments and novations fragment the audit trail — there's no shared line from open to current state.

How it works

Canonicalise. Derive. Explain.

01

Canonicalise

Each party attests the economic and lifecycle terms of the trade in canonical form.

02

Derive

The same terms produce the same deterministic Sigrid.

03

Explain

Different terms produce different Sigrids and a field-level diff for triage.

Same terms → same Sigrid. Different terms → different Sigrid + field-level diff.

Scope

What Sigrid is — and what it is not.

Is

Sigrid is a deterministic identity and exception layer for bilateral OTC matching.

Is not

Sigrid is not an OMS, trade booking system, chat tool, allocation workflow, or regulatory reporting product.
