Regulation and industry developments are changing the nature of collateral management. DTCC's Mark Jennis and Mathew Keshav Lewis explore the risks and opportunities this is creating for market intermediaries, service providers and market infrastructures.
Summary
If you Google “collateral,” the top
search result is a 2004 thriller starring
Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. While
collateral in the financial sense may not
bring to mind the same level of action
or adventure, the reality is surprisingly
dynamic. Sweeping and rapid changes
are occurring in financial markets that
are having a significant impact on
the management, mobilisation and
transformation of collateral.
Collateral has a contradictory
reputation. It is remembered as the
trigger of massive financial losses in
the acute phase of the financial crisis
in 2008.
But it is also viewed as an
important part of the solution to the
problems highlighted by the crisis.
Policymakers around the world have
enacted new rules, including the
Dodd-Frank Act in the United States,
the European Market Infrastructure
Regulation (EMIR) and the Basel III
regulations in Europe, all of which have
implications for the markets in collateral.
