FundReg: Building Trust into Financial-Market Infrastructure
Organization
Central Securities Depository of Iran (CSDI)
Objective
Address fragmented mutual-fund ownership records across multiple software providers by contributing to a centralized national registry designed to improve integrity, transparency, oversight, and investor protection.
My Role
Product Manager for Post-Trade & Mutual Fund Registry Infrastructure. I worked across product requirements, system modeling, stakeholder coordination, regulatory considerations, operating logic, and implementation planning.
Process
Connected ownership records, registry requirements, validation logic, legal and supervisory needs, operational workflows, and the transition from fragmented records toward a coherent central model.
Outcome & Impact
Contributed to the design and delivery of FundReg, a national mutual-fund registry serving approximately two million investors.
Reflection
Trust in financial infrastructure is not created by a user interface. It is created by the relationships between records, controls, rules, governance, and accountable operations.
