A complimentary webinar November 20th 2014 (10am EST 3pm GMT 4pm CET)
In a complimentary webinar, a panel will explore how to build a better post-trade operation for derivatives which is regulation-ready, streamlined and bolsters a firm’s competitiveness
New financial regulation has put post-trade processes for ETD and OTC derivatives at the core of strategic changes for many financial institutions. Middle and back-office processes are essential to ensure a firm is compliant with new regulatory rules and remains competitive in the changing derivatives landscape. However, with greater cost pressures, competition and ongoing regulatory reform, operations managers need to be strategic and forward-looking in how they build their derivatives post-trade operations.
In an interactive webinar, a panel of derivatives experts will explore both the challenges and opportunities in building a better middle and back office for derivatives as needed to manage both new regulatory requirements and provide support for the evolution of the firm’s derivatives business. The panel will review strategies used by market participants to meet new demands of CCP clearing, collateral management and trade reporting whilst also reducing operational costs and unnecessary risks. The audience will learn what a streamlined derivatives workflow looks like now and where fellow operations managers plan to invest in 2015 to stay one step ahead in this rapidly evolving derivatives industry.
The panel will review the following:
- What challenges do firms face when improving post-trade processes amidst ongoing regulatory change?
- What are the challenges firm’s face in meeting service level agreements (SLAs).
- What challenges do firms face as they integrate and streamline both ETD and OTC derivatives workflow to support wider business changes and new client needs?
- How can firms reduce operational costs now and in the future?
- How middle and back-office processes be improved can help firms manage new products such as swap futures?
- What operational processes will differentiate firms and serve as a possible competitive advantage?
- Would the establishment of new market standards or common practices help market participants become more efficient in their post-trade processes? Where is a common approach most needed and why?
