The regulatory technology provider is assisting another investment firm—this time Shenkman Capital Management—in enhancing compliance with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's (ASIC) over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trade reporting requirements.

Shenkman Capital Partners with TRAction for Australian Trade Reporting Compliance

The arrangement will enable Shenkman Capital, which manages approximately $35.9 billion in assets and specializes in leveraged credit markets, to streamline its reporting processes while directing internal resources to other operational areas.

“Our collaboration with Shenkman Capital Management Inc. demonstrates our ongoing commitment to simplifying trade reporting for firms,” said Quinn Perrott, co-CEO at TRAction. “This partnership will enable Shenkman Capital to focus more resources on their core services while seamlessly maintaining compliance under the ASIC reporting regime.”

This marks another recent collaboration for TRAction with a financial firm seeking ASIC compliance. As reported by Finance Magnates, the company’s solutions—integrated with MetaTrader 4—were recently used by the broker Blueberry.
