The platform covers the complete trade lifecycle as five modules on one unified platform, with data normalised across fragmented markets and integration with the custodians, exchanges, and counterparty venues that clients already use. Designed as one, deployed as needed: firms adopt one module or several without losing the coherence of a single platform.

The client and its brokers execute; Elwood provides the software that connects to venues and supports the workflow. ## Who Elwood serves Professional and institutional clients only, as defined by the UK Financial Conduct Authority: hedge funds, asset managers, banks and bank digital-asset desks, broker-dealers, quant and proprietary trading firms, family offices, lending and credit desks, and corporate and digital-asset treasury operations.
