Clearstream has released a solution to optimise management of equity collateral, providing predictive analytics and data relating to collateral portfolios and equity capacity.
The service, named Collateral Mapper, delivers an automated and integrated view of the collateral inventory and offers pre-emptive insights on the potential of an equity portfolio. This uses automated workflow and end-of-day data, thereby minimising manual requirements.
In doing so, it highlights any spare capacity in rebalancing an inventory towards equity, enabling higher-quality collateral assets to be deployed for other uses.
Priya Sharma, head of data and connectivity at Clearstream, said: “Due to the current changing interest rate climate, market participants are placing a renewed focus on collateral management. We at Clearstream combine the power of high-quality data and pre-emptive analytics to provide clients with innovative and reliable insights.
“With the Collateral Mapper, we enable them to maximise their collateral pool across different asset classes. Today, more than 10 per cent of triparty repo collateralisation is taking place in equities, bringing potential to optimise eligible inventory.”
Marton Szigeti, head of collateral, lending and liquidity solutions at Clearstream, added: “Providing our clients with reliable and scalable state-of-the-art solutions that reduce the frictional costs of trading through transparency and automation is core to our collateral management strategy.
“We at Clearstream are the innovation partner of choice in digital post-trading, an expertise that we are bringing to bear in the transformation of the collateral management space.”
Clearstream indicates that this Collateral Mapper tool can be accessed via Clearstream’s Xact platform and is now available to users for a 3-month trial on a free of cost basis.
