Trade lifecycle

The trade lifecycle is the sequence of steps a trade goes through from order to final maturity: execution, capture, enrichment, confirmation, clearing, settlement, reporting, lifecycle events such as resets, coupons and corporate actions, and termination. Front, middle and back office teams each own parts of it, with controls at each hand-off.
