Fidectus and ION Group enter strategic partnership

Zurich/New York - 05 October 2021: Fidectus, a leading post-trade service provider in OTC
commodity markets, and ION Commodities, the largest global provider of commodity trading
and risk management solutions, today announce they have entered a strategic partnership.

ION’s next generation energy trading and risk management (ETRM) solutions coupled with
Fidectus’ Global Energy Network (GEN) now drive increased value from trade capture through confirmation, settlement, brokerage, and payment for both physical and financial commodities. Fidectus’ GEN seamlessly connects with ION’s trusted ETRM portfolio, including Openlink, Allegro, and TriplePoint, to automate end-to-end processes, reducing operational cost and risk for ION’s leading customer community. The innovative solution allows you to resolve disputes faster, mitigate your credit risk, and optimize your payments schedule.


Trades captured in ION’s ETRMs seamlessly straight through process to Fidectus’ GEN, a
cloud service that already supports the latest European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET)
standards for electronic confirmation matching (eCM), settlement matching (eSM), and
regulatory reporting. Energy firms can now benefit from a unified next generation platform
across their company and to their counterparties for the entire trade lifecycle.


“By combining the market leading capabilities of ION’s commodity management solutions and Fidectus’ GEN on a single platform, our customers will immediately benefit from an automated back office, further digitalizing their post-trade activity, while delivering material cost savings and operational efficiencies.” said ION Corporates CEO Richard Grossi.
