Collateral in 2021
|
Abstract:
It’s hard to overstate how much collateral management has changed over the past several years, not least in 2020, something this special edition of Global Investor will explore.
From primarily a back-office, operational function, collateral management is increasingly a critical front-office role, playing an important part in investment decisions. Managing the sources and uses of inventory efficiently contributes directly to the bottom line. Additionally, the interplay between collateral management and securities lending is driving a trend to a holistic view of financing for buy-side firms, helping institutions effectively manage their financial resources and contribute to investment returns.
Innovation has continued through technology and automation, creating new efficiencies, and ongoing regulatory change means that time-tested structures, such as triparty, are being used in new and innovative ways. Whilst we are certainly proud to be at the forefront of that innovation, we are not acting alone. The industry, buy- and sell-side institutions, clearinghouses, utilities, vendors and collateral agents have to increasingly work together to create solutions that are indeed larger than the sum of their parts. |
