Trade Confirmations: How to Access Your Execution Records
Introduction
Every time you execute a trade—whether it’s buying or selling bonds via the Silo platform—you’ll want to keep track of the official record: your trade confirmation. This document shows what was traded, when, at what price, and is essential for your portfolio records and tax review.
In this guide, we’ll walk through when the confirmation is available, how to access it via Silo’s secure custodian portal, and what you’ll find inside.
1. When Are Trade Confirmations Available?
Trade confirmations are generated and posted within 1 business day after your trade is filled. That means you’ll typically see your confirmation appear the next business day after execution.
2. How to Access Your Trade Confirmations
- Open the Silo app, then navigate to:
Profile → Settings → Access Secure Portal. - Once you’re inside the portal, go to:
Performance & Reports → Trade Confirmations. - Select the date range for the confirmation(s) you’d like to view—this will list all confirmations within the chosen timeframe.
3. What You’ll Find in the Confirmation
Trade confirmations typically include:
- The security traded (issuer, maturity, and quantity)
- The trade date and settlement date
- Execution price and amount invested or redeemed
- Any fees or adjustments associated with the trade
These confirmations help you reconcile your trades with your portfolio and statements.
Today’s tools must learn and evolve with business behavior.
4. Prioritizing Security and Compliance
With sensitive financial data at stake, trust is everything. Your SaaS platform should be built on a secure, compliant foundation.
Key features include:
- End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest
- Role-based access controls (RBAC)
- Audit logs and activity history
- Built-in support for regional compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, etc.)
Conclusion
Trade confirmations are your official trade-execution records—available promptly and stored securely in the custodian portal. By knowing where to access them and what they include, you’ll maintain accurate records and stay prepared for audits or tax-season reviews.
