Since 2009, demand for collateral management is very strong by asset management companies, poorly backed up by their OTC portfolio pockets.
Both sides, the "sell side" and the "buy side" revisit their risk management. At the top of the list of improvements we found better risk analysis, a better calculation of portfolio exposure to risk and, above all, better collateral management.
The implementation of Basel 2, which can reduce the capital requirement for operations covered by collateral, is also a factor of interest in this practice.
The tasks in the collateral management are significant; this is why some organizations make the choice of alleviating their back-office by outsourcing.
The strategic and organizational issues arise now:
- Moving ahead to the industrialization of processes and economies of scale
- Evolving from process and an organizational silos to a more global and centralized model
- Transforming the collateral management in a profit center
