A consortium of six banks- Bank of America, Barclays, Citi, HSBC, UBS, and Wells Fargo – will make a strategic equity investment in OSTTRA.
The network underpins millions of OTC and listed derivatives on which banks, asset managers and other market participants manage post-trade workflows, optimise portfolios, and reduce operational risk.
The commitment from the banks, all long-standing OSTTRA clients and users of its services, will help to drive expansion into new markets and asset classes.
The transaction follows OSTTRA’s transition to independence under KKR, it’s majority owner – in October 2025 and marks an important milestone in its evolution toward becoming an even more client-centric, growth-oriented business. The banks will work closely with OSTTRA as the firm develops its future-ready product roadmap – strengthening momentum behind the company’s long-term ambition for a more unified, efficient, and resilient post-trade ecosystem.
Webster Chua, a partner at KKR said: “We are delighted to welcome this group of leading banks as equity investors. Their commitment reinforces the strategic importance of OSTTRA to the global trading industry and validates the progress the firm is making as it accelerates growth and innovation across its global network.”
