FusionCapital Solution insight Opening up new revenue streams Creating a centralised infrastructure to monetise collateral flows
Disparate cultures, technologies and redundant processes Financial institutions must intelligently change and simplify their organisational structures if they want to optimise their collateral management.
Unlock the full power of collateral and optimise your inventory Higher trading costs are driving banks to look for additional revenue streams, such as optimising collateral placement against trades. The lack of an enterprise view is an issue when trying to reuse collateral, compute initial margins and make optimal use of inventory. Traders have to deal with the headache of looking for information on OTC portfolio and collateral positions that are usually held in multiple places and on different systems. The lack of interfaces and integration between functions is preventing banks from truly optimising their collateral depriving them of the visibility they need to get the most of their inventory.

Manual computation With products running on different systems, it is difficult, if not impossible, to aggregate and analyse cross-asset positions and risk measures. Traditional solutions are either ad hoc add-ons or spreadsheet-based manual exercises that result in a swollen cost structure comprised of decades of disparate cultures, technologies and redundant processes. Innovation challenges Making changes to organisational structure must be done carefully, not just as a pure cost-reduction exercise, taking interdependencies and implications into consideration. These changes must incorporate innovation into your long-term strategy to cope with challenged revenue pools, complex legacy operations and technology, and rising regulatory requirements. Process integration The alignment and integration of cross-product collateral operations is critical for establishing the foundation for proactive, cross-product collateral management. However, the process of integration is not straightforward. Internal systems and vendor solutions have evolved to address the needs of specific products and markets rather than being adaptable to support multiple products. 54 % 77.7 % 65.9 % rise of total reported collateral for cleared derivatives transactions.

ISDA Margin Survey 2015 Demands on versatility Financial markets are constantly shifting, due to tighter capital and liquidity constraints and the prospect of changing monetary policy. To cope with these demands, organisations must adopt versatile operating models so they can quickly scale in growth areas that will play an important role in their future, such as collateral management. Enterprise-wide adoption For an effective enterprise collateral management strategy to be put in place, it demands engagement from front-, middle- and back-office functions as well as supporting operations and technology structures. 4 Misys FusionCapital enterprise collateral management
