HQLAX
HQLAX is an innovative financial technology firm founded by financial market practitioners. Our core clients are financial institutions active in securities lending and collateral management, and our shareholders include market-leading service providers in the global financial ecosystem.
Our vision is to be the distributed ledger for Securities Finance and Repo. We aim to achieve this vision by collaborating with our clients to design, develop and deliver innovative, technology-driven solutions for specific pain points in the financial markets.
Our immediate goal is to provide capital savings to global banks by improving collateral mobility across market-leading triparty agents and custodians in Europe. Together with Deutsche Börse, we created a multi-layer operating model which enables our clients to exchange ownership of baskets of securities across disparate collateral pools at precise moments in time. The atomic nature of our Delivery vs Delivery (DvD) ownership transfers provides our clients with capital cost savings by reducing credit risk, intraday liquidity requirements, and operational risk.
