Manage your structured finance portfolio using a controlled, auditable and scalable purpose built platform

Structured finance / securitization Institutional investors will hold varying notes / positions  in private transactions that are predominantly assessed and monitored by a series of manual processes.  As the portfolio grows over time, the ability to accurately monitor positions, undertake stress tests and determine performance during periods of uncertainty can become an operational issue.


By introducing TAO Solutions multi-seller functionality to the structured finance institutional investor industry, we have been able to introduce a portfolio assessment and management tool that is controlled, auditable and scalable.  This negates the need for internally created, separately managed spreadsheets with limited audit controls and operational, key-person risks.


Our solution is designed to address investors exposure held within the capital structure of a structured finance and / or ESG transaction.  SecureHub is asset class agnostic, thereby able to manage and monitor any type of exposure held and includes multi-currency and multi-jurisdictional transaction types.


Automates a variety of manual processes, including transaction and data ingestion to provide analytics, reporting, cash flows and performance metrics

TAO Solutions automates end-to-end processing of client data (scraping from specific reports or ingesting the underlying data itself) via a job scheduler with specific data validation and normalization exercises undertaken to confirm data integrity. 


Once the data is ingested, it is assigned to specific transactions for analytics, reporting, cash flows performance and portfolio management metrics.  Workflow automation reduces a number of manual processes that enables the analyst / portfolio manager to focus on alternative value accretive tasks.  Specific reporting templates can be created for each asset class, transaction type as well as using the analytics tool to obtain aggregate performance metrics.
