About Tonic

Tonic is an expertise-led Capital Markets Consultancy, unlike other consultancies…..in a good way.

Well actually, in lots of ways.

But mainly because we leverage genuine expertise across the front-to-back trade lifecycle to provide a superior service model for our clients.

Our transformation and cross-domain expertise, combined with our client-focus, means that we accelerate our clients’ business objectives via tailored solutions, driven by their unique, evolving needs.

We focus on domains that are relevant, exciting and often high growth. These include but are not limited to collateral services, post-trade, securities finance, digital (crypto, DLT, tokenization), sustainability, legal and onboarding.

We combine deep domain expertise with delivery excellence, enabling our clients to achieve strategic outcomes in a rapidly evolving regulatory and market landscape.

We’re also product-agnostic, with our consultancy services covering derivatives (uncleared, cleared, listed), securities lending, repo and more.
