R.J. O'Brien Completes Its Middle-Office Migration To Lisa Clearing Engine From ATEO Finance

CHICAGO, Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ATEO Finance, a leading provider of Post-Trade solutions for the Listed Derivatives space, is pleased to announce that R.J. O'Brien & Associates (RJO), the oldest and largest independent futures brokerage and clearing firm in the United States, and its UK affiliate R.J. O'Brien Limited (RJO Limited), have completed their migration from a legacy middle-office solution to ATEO's LISA Clearing Engine platform.

LISA Clearing Engine, a state-of-the-art clearing platform, provides off-the-shelf connectivity not only to all major clearing houses, but to the entire exchange-traded derivatives (ETD) eco-system, including execution platforms, major clearers as well as third-party clearing and confirmation systems. LISA Clearing Engine also delivers a unique set of advanced clearing features.

RJO, having rolled out the TEO Derivatives and LISA Clearing Engine solutions across its EMEA and US offices, is now achieving additional operational efficiencies by leveraging an innovative, fully integrated middle-office platform.

Jose Lopez, ATEO's Director, said: "The relationship with RJO Limited dates back to the acquisition in 2015 of The Kyte Group Limited, a former TEO Derivatives client. Over these past four years, RJO users got to know our products. The completion of this migration, and the usage of our complete suite of middle-office products across RJO's offices, is obviously a testimony to our strong product offering but also to ATEO's capacity to work very closely with its customers and develop meaningful partnerships."

Karen Northup, RJO Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, said: "We appreciate the ATEO team's ability to promptly address our inputs and requirements, as well as its responsiveness. As a large clearing firm with a diverse client base, we need to manage sophisticated requirements, new exchange offerings and evolving regulatory developments. Operational efficiencies like those we are able to achieve through the deployment of this middle-office suite are key to our continued growth and ongoing commitment to servicing our clients."
