In a roundtable discussion, DerivSource Forum participants will explore the operational, technological, legal and practical implications of each pre-trade challenge to give the audience greater insight into their multi-facets. This newly established forum group will also share how different financial institutions are addressing these challenges today as part of long-term strategies for developing a regulatory compliant and efficient business operation. Collectively, the Forum Group includes leading representatives from the buy side, sell side, service providers and specialist law firms.
During this Feb 8th webinar, Forum speakers will discuss some of the following topics which are of most immediate concern to market participants:
– What elements of new regulation in both the US and Europe is most confusing or of immediate concern?
– What questions still need to be answered with regards to how clearinghouses will operate and what products will be eligible for clearing?
– How are financial institutions (buy-side and sell-side) planning to engage in central clearing? For instance, how will firms decide how to connect to the clearinghouses and what are the implications of making this selection?
– What is the role of the fund administrators in central clearing?
– What are the concerns firms have in the economics of central clearing and the potential high cost of managing a mixed clearing (bilateral and centrally cleared) environment? How are both asset managers and banks looking to adopt a most cost-effective strategy for clearing?
Speakers will be confirmed shortly.
Members of the Forum Group include representatives from multiple financial institutions and companies including: ICE, CME, LCH.Clearnet, RBS, AllianceBernstein, Aviva Investors and many more.

About the Forum
DerivSource has established a 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. The intention of the forum group is to help financial professionals and organizations better understand new developments in the market and learn how organizations can best adjust business processes to respond to industry change and related market trends.
Consistent with DerivSource’s mission of promoting the accessibility of timely and relevant information affecting the derivatives industry, the forum will focus initially on the practical impact and timing of the implementation of central clearing of OTC derivatives. The forum will sponsor industry networking sessions designed to further delineate industry-wide questions regarding the new framework for clearing and processing derivative transactions.
Most importantly, the forum will undertake this initiative in light of the extensive regulatory pronouncements of the SEC, CFTC and European officials, as well as the leadership and published guidance of trade associations and available publications of the major law firms specializing in derivatives and global regulatory reform.
