Legacy vendors currently support the securities finance industry's requirements. To pick the right platform, market participants need to weigh:

- Ease of onboarding Systems with robust cybersecurity protocols that are already embedded in the ecosystem can reduce time to market and simplify onboarding processes.
- Trader workflow tools Tools that maximize traders’ time and reduce manual intervention increase efficiency, while advanced analytics can help improve P&L through better decision-making.
- Smart matching and algorithms Smart matching algorithms can help achieve better quality matches, automate resolutions and reduce operational strain.
- Post-trade integration Connecting trading and settlement processes in one seamless loop delivers efficiency gains that will be vital as settlement cycles shorten.
- Commercial considerations Lower trading costs and reduced process friction minimize barriers to entry, promoting market depth, diversity and liquidity.
