Where today’s middle office breaks down
Most funds still stitch middle office from end-of-day batches, spreadsheets, point recon tools, and outsourced BPO desks. The work gets done, but latency, opacity, and headcount scale with volume.
Administrator and outsourcing relationships stay valuable for official books. The pain sits on the manager side: the operational book that must be correct before the street and the admin catch up.
What middle office operations actually covers
A complete list of the work between the fill and the administrator. This is the surface area ForeStrat is built to run continuously, not only at T+1.
Trade lifecycle & allocations
- Capture, normalize, and warehouse fills across brokers and venues
- Allocations, affirmations, and give-ups across accounts and PMs
- Order lifecycle state across equities, FX, futures, and options
- Exception handling when street confirms diverge from the blotter
Positions, cash & IBOR
- Intraday and end-of-day position books at fund and PM level
- Cash balances, financing, locates, and margin movements
- Real-time Investment Book of Record from fills, not overnight batches
- P&L and exposure views ops and risk can trust before the close
Corporate actions & reference
- Mandatory and voluntary event processing against the position book
- Identifier and security master alignment across brokers and custodians
- Entitlement impact on positions, cash, and P&L
- Point-in-time reference so historical breaks remain explainable
Broker, PB & custodian ops
- Connectivity and post-trade configuration to PBs, EBs, and custodians
- Daily broker and custodian statement intake
- Margin calls, collateral movements, and financing disputes
- Operational follow-up when counterparties and books disagree
Risk, limits & surveillance
- Pre- and post-trade limit checks against IMA and desk policy
- Gross/net exposure, concentration, drawdown, and instrument restrictions
- Compliance and surveillance hooks inside the trade flow
- Multi-PM limit enforcement with fund-level consolidation
Reconciliation & break resolution
- Cash, positions, trades, NAV components, and collateral matching
- IBOR versus administrator (ABOR) and PB statement alignment
- Break triage, root-cause analysis, and resolution workflows
- Memory of recurring break patterns so known items auto-resolve
