MIDDLE OFFICE SERVICES

Treasury operations with consolidated liquidity visibility.

Bring bank, broker, collateral and expected cash movements into one operating view for controlled funding and payment decisions.

Overview

Treasury operations supports cash visibility, liquidity planning, payment/funding workflows and counterparty-related cash movements. For investment managers this often means consolidating cash across banks and prime brokers, forecasting obligations and ensuring settlements, margin, expenses and capital events can be funded on time.

Treasury is a core hedge-fund middle-office pillar and is also important in private credit, real assets and family-office environments with multiple accounts/entities.

Operating priorities

Without an integrated cash view, teams log into many portals, rebuild spreadsheets and react late to margin, settlement, loan or expense obligations.

Common operating challenges

  • Fragmented bank/PB balances.
  • Manual cash forecasting.
  • Late funding of settlements, margin or loan events.
  • Payment requests disconnected from support evidence.
  • No consolidated currency/counterparty view.

Frequently asked questions

Does Treasury mean Kelton moves client money?

Not by default. The site must distinguish preparation/coordination from bank authority and payment release.

How is this different from cash reconciliation?

Reconciliation validates records; treasury uses validated cash information to manage visibility, obligations and authorised actions.

Why is it critical for hedge funds?

Multi-PB balances, margin and active settlement create frequent liquidity demands.
