OSTTRA Expands Investment Management Offering with Acquisition of HUB
LONDON and NEW YORK – May 1, 2026 – OSTTRA, the global post-trade solutions provider, today announced the acquisition of HUB, a SaaS provider of AI-enabled solutions that automate investment operations.
The acquisition will further advance OSTTRA’s strategy of post-trade transformation. By combining its unmatched network scale with HUB’s innovative technology, OSTTRA will provide investment managers with a unified foundation to streamline operations and reduce risk.
Following its acquisition by KKR and recent Tier-1 bank investment, OSTTRA has intensified its focus on improving post-trade efficiency in the investment management community. The addition of HUB complements OSTTRA’s existing solutions for buy-side trade processing, portfolio reconciliation, optimisation and margin management. Integrating HUB’s AI-enabled capabilities will enable further innovation to replace manual, spreadsheet-heavy processes with automated, real-time oversight to improve productivity, data accuracy and control.
Existing HUB customers will continue to receive the same high levels of service and support across all HUB solutions. Over time, these clients will benefit from deeper integration with the OSTTRA network, offering enhanced connectivity and broader trade lifecycle services.
Guy Rowcliffe and John Stewart, co-CEOs of OSTTRA, commented: "Our ambition is to build an intelligent ecosystem where every trade moves seamlessly through its lifecycle. HUB’s AI powered solutions perfectly complement our existing network. By bringing the HUB team into OSTTRA, we are strengthening our commitment to the buy-side, turning shared infrastructure into shared benefit for the investment management community."
Upon completion of the acquisition, Paul Taylor, CEO of Hub, will be stepping down from his role. The remaining HUB team will continue to focus on the support and evolution of HUB services, while contributing significantly to the OSTTRA innovation roadmap over time, applying their expertise in AI, data orchestration and investment management workflows to solve persistent industry challenges.
Paul Taylor, CEO of HUB, added: "We built HUB with a clear conviction, to transform manual, fragmented workflows through modern data architecture and AI. Over the past few years, our focus has been building a platform that customers genuinely rely on. I am incredibly proud of what the team has built, the quality of the platform and the trust we have earned from our customers. Joining OSTTRA is a transformative moment. Our customers can be reassured it is 'business as usual,' now backed by OSTTRA’s global reach and resilience. I look forward to supporting a successful transition and seeing the business continue to scale within OSTTRA."
Guy Rowcliffe and John Stewart, co-CEOs of OSTTRA, added: “Paul has led the development of HUB into a platform that addresses real operational challenges for clients in complex markets. His combination of domain expertise, commercial focus and ability to build a strong team has been instrumental in shaping the business we are acquiring today. We thank him for his leadership and look forward to seeing his next chapter.”
