    About gClarity

    How firms use gClarity

    gClarity handles fees, commissions, and P&L: schedule management, calculation, billing, rebates, and the reconciliation that proves the numbers are right.

    Most firms cannot fully explain their own commission schedules, because the schedules accumulated — per client, per asset class, per venue, with exceptions agreed verbally and encoded in a spreadsheet nobody owns. gClarity makes the schedule the system of record: tiered and per-client pricing, venue and clearing pass-throughs, soft-dollar and rebate arrangements, and payout calculations, all versioned with effective dates. Billing runs and P&L then reconcile against clearing and trading records, so a client dispute is answered with a calculation trail instead of an argument.

    • Tiered, per-share, per-trade, percentage, and minimum-based fee schedules.
    • Effective-dated schedule versions so historical billing reproduces exactly.
    • Venue, clearing, regulatory, and market-data pass-throughs modelled explicitly.
    • Rep and desk payout calculation including splits, overrides, and adjustments.
    • P&L computed on the reconciled dataset shared with gNexus.

    Most firms cannot fully explain their own commission schedules, because the schedules accumulated. Pricing per client, per asset class, per venue, with exceptions agreed verbally and encoded in a spreadsheet nobody owns. The result is revenue leakage that is invisible until someone reconciles an invoice line by line.

    gClarity makes the schedule the system of record, versioned with effective dates. Billing runs and P&L reconcile against clearing and trading records, so a client dispute is answered with a calculation trail. Unbilled and over-billed pass-through charges become visible per client rather than absorbed firm-wide.

    How flexible is the fee schedule engine?

    Schedules support tiered, per-share, per-trade, percentage, and minimum-based pricing, applied by client, account, asset class, venue, or strategy, with effective-dated versions so historical billing can be reproduced exactly.

    Can gClarity calculate rep and desk payouts?

    Yes. Payout formulas run off the same reconciled revenue records, including splits, overrides, and adjustments, which is what removes the parallel spreadsheet most firms maintain for compensation.

    How is P&L calculated?

    P&L is computed from executions, positions, fees, and financing on the reconciled dataset shared with gNexus, so trading, operations, and finance see one number rather than three.

    What about pass-through venue and clearing charges?

    Exchange, clearing, regulatory, and market-data pass-throughs are modelled explicitly and reconciled against the invoices they come from, so unbilled or over-billed charges are visible per client.

    Can gClarity reproduce a prior period's invoice after a schedule change?

    Yes. Schedules are effective-dated and versioned, so a bill from any prior period can be recalculated with the terms that applied at the time, which is what makes a disputed invoice answerable.

    Does gClarity handle soft dollars and rebates?

    Yes. Soft-dollar arrangements, commission-sharing, and venue rebates are modelled alongside standard pricing and reconciled against the same revenue records used for billing and payouts.
