07.05.2015 - GIC adopts Omgeo ALERT to boost operational efficiency
Omgeo, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and the global standard for post-trade efficiency, announced that Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC Private Limited (GIC) has adopted Omgeo ALERTSM, the industry’s largest and most compliant web-based global database for the maintenance and communication of account and Standing Settlement Instructions (SSIs). The firm adopted the solution to deliver further improvements in post-trade operational efficiency. GIC wanted to enhance its enterprise trade lifecycle platform as part of a two-stage process. Phase one involved the importing of SSIs into ALERT, with a focus on fixed income instructions, in the third quarter of 2014. GIC is now embarking on the second phase of that project: loading SSIs for equity trades into ALERT. This is scheduled to go live in the second quarter of 2015. (Press Release)
