Oddo Asset Management (Oddo AM), the French independent investment services firm, has completed its deployment of Capstone Sentinel from LatentZero, the pre and post-trade compliance system. Sentinel has been installed as an extension of Oddo AM’s proprietary front-office system to ensure compliance with both regulatory rules and client mandates.
Sentinel aims to ensure compliance on all of Oddo AM’s equities, fixed income, money market and derivatives trades for both institutional accounts and mutual funds. Sentinel delivers automatic updates on new rules from regulatory bodies around the world.
“In today’s environment of heightened regulatory control it is virtually impossible for an asset management firm to operate without dedicated compliance technology,” says Dominique Lomas, the Account Manager at LatentZero Paris. “Capstone Sentinel offers true real-time compliance across all asset classes throughout the entire workflow of a trade. It provides a comprehensive audit trail, incorporating real-time and historic data, which enables users to check incidents and approve changes quickly.”
“Professionalism and respect for client commitments are at the centre of the Oddo Asset Management ethos, and Capstone Sentinel will support our delivery of these values to our clients,” adds Yann-Herv Beulze, the Head of Compliance and Risk Management at Oddo AM. “We really appreciated the quality of LatentZero’s technology and the French implementation team that has worked with us on the project.”
