Clearing & Settlement

To deliver the highest level of service to our clients, United First Partners LLP and Mariana UFP LLP maintain a strategic partnership with Instinet, the equity trading arm of Nomura Group, which acts as a global clearing and settlement agent. Nomura Group boasts robust credit ratings of Baa1 from Moody’s and BBB+ from Standard & Poor’s, underscoring its financial strength and reliability.

United First Partners LLC, the U.S.-regulated subsidiary of the group, has established a fully disclosed clearing relationship with National Financial Services LLC (“NFS”), a Fidelity Investments company, to execute and settle all transactions on North American markets. This partnership enables United First Partners LLC to provide state-of-the-art execution and seamless straight-through-processing settlement solutions.

Our clients demand confidence and efficiency when transitioning from investment decisions to settlement. Together with our trusted partners—Mariana UFP LLP, Instinet, and National Financial Services LLC—we ensure a smooth, efficient, and secure process from trade execution to clearing and settlement, allowing clients to fully utilize their investments from the settlement date.
