June 5th 9am EST/ 2pm BST/ 3pm CET
In a complimentary webinar, industry experts discuss strategies for building a future-proof OTC derivatives workflow capable of supporting both cleared and uncleared flow and global regulation
New regulation and requirements for OTC derivatives to be electronically executed, centrally cleared and reported to regulators is transforming the workflow across the entire trade lifecycle. As EMIR implementation progresses, financial organisations, including end users and buy-side firms, will have to employ more strategic changes to their operational processes to support immediate regulatory requirements but also to streamline procedures to reduce operational risk and inefficiencies caused by breaks in the processing chain. Furthermore, increased demands for collateral management and an increasing squeeze on funding urgently require the buy side to invest in operations and resources to optimise margin and reduce the risk of a liquidity squeeze.
In a complimentary webinar, a panel of experts will explore what the next generation of OTC derivatives workflow looks like amidst new demands on collateral management and trade reporting. The panel, which includes speakers from the buy side, Clearstream and Commerzbank, will discuss the challenges new regulation (EMIR, Dodd-Frank, Basel III and MiFID) introduces and suggest practical solutions for addressing these challenges now. The panel will review some of the following topics:
•How to streamline connectivity to market infrastructure including exchanges and trading platforms and trade repositories (TRs)
•How to integrate cleared and uncleared derivatives workflow
•How to streamline and manage the operational burden under the new paradigm of collateral management including managing daily margin calls
•How to optimise collateral management to support greater demand for margin including initial margin requirements
•Assessing and utilising alternatives for funding support such as collateral upgrades or tri-party repo services
•Evaluating the entire lifecycle to address gaps in the processing chain and optimise procedures to improve automation and efficiency
•How to create a long-term improvement plan for pre and post-trade operations amidst ongoing market uncertainty
The panel will take questions from the audience following the discussion of the above topics.
