Castine Virtual (CV) centralizes and streamlines the aggregation of CSA (soft dollar) trade reconciliation and payment processing, delivering the efficiency of a broker-managed platform without requiring asset managers to disclose trade or research-provider information externally.

Fully automated trade and payment data feeds simplify reconciliation and payment workflows for all parties, delivering precise, accurate balances that are essential for timely research payments. Built-in approval workflows and intuitive provider and broker communications ensure every step is monitored, reducing the risk of unnecessary and costly delays.

Castine Virtual CSA aggregation system connects with every major broker, which helps simplify the CSA workflows for both asset managers and hedge funds. CV is complimentary for the buy side and delivers more functionality at a much lower cost to brokers when compared to our competitors. CV also integrates with Castine’s Asset Manager Toolkit, automatically syncing all adjustments and payments back to in-house systems. The Toolkit offers powerful features like multi-OMS and multi-asset class, and multi-currency reporting, budgeting, payment management, trade unbundling, due diligence, research agreement oversight, a document repository, and much more.
