Margin Compression within organisations can substantially reduce costs and is a focus across buy and sell-side organisations prior to the introduction of the Basel III endgame.

Post Uncleared Margining Requirements (UMR) several buy and sell side firms are looking to transition their UMR to a triparty agent, by using collateral efficiently either to raise liquidity, utilise as margin or as collateral to upgrade or downgrade to create efficiencies within portfolios and enhance profitability.

It is essential to understand the collateral requirements of CCP’s and CSD’s, as well as their workflow, and downstream requirements.

We can assist your company in extracting maximum value by mobilising and understanding its characteristics and optimising collateral.
