Welcome to the end to end MATware technology for alternatives – delivering effective solutions for firms that focus on investment in alternatives

Award winning MATware is an electronic order processing framework which normalises the unstructured nature of alternative investments. It connects investors to funds to increase portfolio control and reduce operational risk.

Using tradechain™ processing, MATware enables all internal and external parties to participate electronically throughout the investment life cycle (investors, administrators, fund managers, custodians, treasury operations). This means your operations are more efficient and the information you have, more accurate.

Your oversight requirements are addressed by MATware’s expert business engine which forces timely and accurate data. It generates sophisticated analyses dynamically and transforms data effectively for use by alternatives investors and their systems.

tradechain™ straight through processing

The foundation of MATware is an end to end transaction framework which powers functionality and analyses that are unmatched in the alternative investments industry.
