As you already see, DerivSource has upgraded itself recently to make room for new features and even more industry intelligence in the form of trend analysis and commentary.
The introduction of these new features and services is part of our mission to provide our community of derivatives professionals with the information and resources required to keep up with market developments. In the coming month we will continue to leverage our neutral position and journalist-led content to deliver even more information and analysis to help derivatives professionals better understand new market changes and gain more knowledge of related trends.
In our new library, DerivSource members are encouraged to search for articles based on categories of key words. This library gives you access to our complete archive of news, columns and features. You are also able to keep up with the regulatory developments via our regulation timeline. News will now be categorized to allow members to see the newest and biggest news first, which aids quick updating during these busy times.
Our webinars have gained tremendous traction in the last 18 months and we thank all of you who have tuned into these interactive roundtable discussions. We are told we are now well known for these event and we will continue to deliver these informative events to cover various topics including: derivatives regulatory reform, central clearing of OTC derivatives, collateral management and counterparty risk mitigation, and much more, so stay tuned.
Coming up, we have a complimentary webinar on the Communication of Collateral Calls where we will have a panel discuss the use of electronic messages for margin calls to reduce counterparty risk and increase transparency. See event link for registration details for this Feb 9th event.
We have also established a new DerivSource Forum Group made up of key industry experts who will explore current issues with the aim of sharing knowledge and insight with a wider audience of industry peers in webcasts and other mediums. In a debut Forum webcast, the Forum participants will explore pre-trade challenges in central clearing of OTC derivatives. The panel will discuss the operational, technological, legal and practical implications of the pre-trade challenges and share how they are addressing these challenges. Register now for this complimentary webcast on Pre-trade Challenges of Central Clearing OTC Derivatives on Feb 8th.
Also, DerivSource’s new podcasts will feature some of our previous webinars and exclusive interviews to deliver more industry analysis of new market developments and industry trends influencing the derivatives market. Today you can listen now to our November Webinar entitled: “Central Clearing OTC Derivatives in a New Regulatory Environment: Understanding use of CCP Clearing under Dodd-Frank Legislation.” This Webinar is sponsored by Calypso Technology.
