Swedish fund manager Cliens becomes the first client to use integrated solution.
We "allow firms to refocus on what truly matters: managing investments and driving performance," said Virtu’s Prem Balasubramanian.
Trading
firm Virtu Financial (NASDAQ: VIRT) has teamed up with Swedish investment
management technology provider Limina to offer clients a combined platform that
handles everything from order management to post-trade settlement.
Virtu Financial Partners
with Limina to Streamline Trading Operations
The
partnership centers around Virtu's TradeOPS platform, which automates the
back-office work that happens after trades are executed. Limina brings its
cloud-based order and portfolio management system to the table. Together,
they're promising buy-side firms a smoother path from placing orders to
settling trades.
Swedish
fund manager Cliens has already signed on as the first client to use the
integrated service. The firm is now processing its trades through Virtu's
system while managing orders through Limina's platform.

"By
providing streamlined and effective solutions tailored to clients' needs, we
can significantly reduce the operational burden and allow firms to refocus on
what truly matters: managing investments and driving performance," said
Prem Balasubramanian, who heads Virtu's TradeOPS platform.
The timing
isn't coincidental. Recent changes in how trades settle have created new
problems for investment firms. The industry's move to T+1 settlement , where
trades must be completed one business day after execution instead of two, has
compressed timelines. Meanwhile, the shift from older SWIFT messaging formats
to newer standards has added technical complexity.
The
partnership appears designed to help Virtu expand its reach in Nordic markets,
where Limina has established relationships. Kristoffer Fürst, Limina's CEO,
called the partnership "an obvious choice to further strengthen the
integration capabilities of Limina's Order Management System, not only to DTCC
CTM but to all venues that tie into Virtu TradeOPS including SWIFT and
more".
For Cliens,
the appeal is operational efficiency. CEO Martin Öqvist said "The
integrated solution that Virtu and Limina offer Cliens helps us extend our
straight-through process, giving time to more productive tasks which adds value
to our customer".
Virtu,
which trades on hundreds of venues across more than 50 countries, has been
building out its post-trade services as firms look to outsource complex
operational tasks. The company's TradeOPS platform handles matching,
settlements and payments — areas where mistakes can be costly.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
