ETNA Integrates Curvature Securities: Unlocking Modern, Multi-Custodian Clearing for Broker-Dealers and RIAs

In today’s highly competitive and constantly evolving financial landscape, broker-dealers and Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) are demanding more flexibility, efficiency, and innovation from their trading and clearing solutions. ETNA’s latest integration with Curvature Securities represents a leap forward—melding advanced technology, operational agility, and the power of multi-custodian connectivity to serve modern broker-dealers and RIAs at every stage of their growth.

Why Integration Matters: Solving Clearing Pain Points with Curvature

Legacy clearing systems have often struggled to keep up with industry change, stifling firms with manual processing, batch reporting, slow onboarding, and limited customization. Curvature Securities has disrupted this status quo, developing a fully digital, cloud-based clearing infrastructure that delivers:

• End-to-end digitization: From paperless onboarding to ACATS transfers and automated post-trade workflows.
• Real-time transparency: A user-friendly portal for up-to-the-second trade details and status updates.
• Built-in compliance and risk management: Integrated AML/KYC, identity verification, and customizable reporting for streamlined supervision.
• Expert service and support: High-touch client support, with live coverage as early as 4 AM, powered by a team of seasoned clearing and equity finance professionals.

ETNA’s Multi-Custodian Advantage: True Flexibility for Broker-Dealers and RIAs

The heart of ETNA’s value proposition is its multi-custodian, white-label trading platform. Unlike single-custodian models which can limit your negotiating power, operational flexibility, and resilience ETNA natively supports connectivity with over 10 clearing firms and 14 execution venues, including Curvature Securities.

Key Advantages of Multi-Custodian Connectivity:

• Choice and Negotiation Power: By accessing multiple providers, your firm can negotiate better terms, pricing and reduce total deposit burdens.
• Risk Mitigation: Diversify across custodians and minimize exposure to any single clearing partner or disruption.
• Client-First Experience: Offer tailored solutions for different client segments whether they’re individual investors, institutions, or fintech innovators.
• Streamlined Transitions: Easily onboard and transition clients between custodians critical for firms engaged in M&A or rapid expansion.
• Future-Ready Operations: Stay agile as market, regulatory, and technology trends evolve, with flexible integrations and seamless upgrades.

For both broker-dealers and RIAs, this flexibility translates into faster client onboarding, more responsive client service, scalable growth, and a truly unified ecosystem for front-, middle-, and back-office operations.
