Who we work with

Four kinds of firm, one kind of problem.

A product has to launch, on a date, under a regulator's eye. We have done that work from the inside in each of these.

Hedge funds and asset managers

Launching vehicles, tokenising fund interests so they can be held, transferred and pledged, selecting and negotiating with administrators, depositaries and counterparties, and running the reporting cycle behind it.

“Can our investors borrow against a tokenised interest in the fund, and who would lend?”

Banks, brokers and prime desks

Building financing and trading businesses, including lending against tokenised fund interests, setting risk appetite and margin frameworks, and finding revenue inside books that already exist.

“We have the balance sheet. Why is the financing business not growing?”

Fintechs, neobanks and platforms

Standing up regulated product on someone else's infrastructure, or absorbing an acquired book onto your own, against a fixed date.

“We promised the board margin lending this year. What has to be true?”

Digital asset firms

Custody, risk and regulatory design for institutional product, and structuring tokenised assets so they survive the same scrutiny as their traditional equivalents.

“Institutions like the product. Why do they stall at due diligence?”

We take work outside financial services when the problem has the same shape. Ask.

Three ways in

Take the whole build, or the part that is stuck.

01 · Fixed scope

Launch Diagnostic

A direct read on whether the product can launch as planned. We spend the time with the people who run the work daily and map the constraints they already know about.

You leave with

A written assessment: what blocks launch, which permissions and counterparties it depends on, and the order to fix things in.

02 · Embedded

Product Build

The product taken from business case to first client. Operating model, margin and collateral framework, counterparties and vendors, pricing, go-to-market and board reporting.

You leave with

A live product, a sequenced plan with named owners, and a team that knows how it was built.

03 · Per mandate

Structuring and Fund Financing

Fund vehicles, managed accounts and tokenised share classes, including hedge fund interests tokenised so they can be pledged as collateral. We design the eligibility, valuation, haircut and margin framework for loans secured against them.

You leave with

A recommended structure, a collateral and margin framework a lender can underwrite, and a shortlist of administrators, custodians and financing counterparties.

Corential does not lend, arrange or broker financing. Legal and regulated advice comes from your counsel and your authorised firms. We work alongside them and keep the plan in one place.

The practice

The person who scopes the work does the work.

Aditya Shetty

Aditya Shetty founded Corential after twenty years building prime brokerage, securities financing and fund products. He was Head of Product Management for Prime Services at Lehman Brothers, a founding member of Nomura's managed accounts platform in London, and ran UCITS portfolios at Nomura Alternative Investment Management. At Saxo Bank he built securities lending and delivered white-label platforms. He then led prime brokerage product at OSL and was Global Head of Prime Brokerage at Elwood.

Engagements are small, senior and discreet. Where the work needs a specialist, you meet them before they start.

Plan

One direction, sequenced, with owners against it.

A business case, a constraint analysis and a roadmap, each step owned by a named person. Technology enters the plan only where it takes work out.

We stay until the capability is yours.

Our people sit inside the delivery, doing the work alongside your teams. You keep the reporting, the cadence and the people who know how it was built.

Enabling technology

Technology is the toolkit, not the pitch.

We do not sell technology. We use it where it shortens a cycle, removes re-keying or makes a record verifiable, and we say so plainly when it does neither.

Artificial Intelligence
  • Reconciliation and margin exceptions surfaced the same day, so breaks are fixed before they become disputes.
  • Margin, financing and fee scenarios modelled before terms are offered to a client.
  • First drafts of board and policy papers, reviewed by your own compliance team.
Tokenisation and distributed ledgers
  • Tokenised fund units and share classes, assessed on whether they simplify ownership, settlement and cost.
  • Hedge fund interests tokenised so they can be pledged as loan collateral, with valuation, haircuts and margin calls run from one record.
  • One shared record between manager, administrator and custodian, so fewer parties re-key the same position.
