7 The Opportunity What Does the Industry Say? Problem #1 Collateral management arguably the greatest problem facing modern trading firms Editorial - Futures & Options World - 21 September 2015 Collateral management has become a much more urgent, business-critical concern for a much wider range of institutions active in the global securities and derivatives markets, encompassing banks, brokers, investment managers, hedge funds, pension funds, insurance firms and other asset owners. BNY Mellon October 2015 $53bn The financial services industry is expected to invest $53bn in technology and infrastructure to address inefficiencies in the clearing and collateralization environment Celent Maximising Collateral Advantage: A survey of Buy Side Business and Operational Strategies. May 2013 If you were to develop your operating model today from scratch, you could use OpenGamma to price pre-trade, CloudMargin to deliver the margin, AcadiaSoft for the messaging, and TriOptima for compression. That model would work wonderfully, Ricky Maloney (Head of Buy-side Client Engagement, Eurex - CCP, DerivSource Webinar. Jan 2016) 7

8 The Opportunity Collateral Management Explained WHAT IS COLLATERAL MGMT? WHO IS INVOLVED? HOW IS IT DONE TODAY? WHY NOW? The process of reducing counterparty credit exposures through the exchange of cash or securities collateral Any firm trading derivatives*- from the largest global investment banks to small corporations hedging financial risk - tens of thousands of firms globally, increasing all the time as regulation brings more firms into scope For all but the very largest dealers, collateral is typically managed using spreadsheets or other User Developed Tools. Using these solutions makes collateral management highly manual, time consuming and prone to error Regulation changes post 2008 have fundamentally changed the collateral management world. These new regulations are now coming on stream and even where firms are currently exempt, they are not immune *Collateral management is also used with financial products such as Repo and Securities Finance 8

10 The Opportunity Problem Statement COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT IS MANUAL, EXPENSIVE AND PRONE TO ERROR REGULATION IS MAKING THE PROCESS INCREASINGLY COMPLEX TRANSACTION VOLUMES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE BY UP TO 1000% Most firms either rely on spreadsheets or outdated technology with poor upstream/downstream connectivity. Dodd-Frank, EMIR, Basel III, BIS-IOSCO etc are adding new challenges such as central clearing, mandatory variation margin, initial margin etc. Manual intervention increases risk whilst reducing scalability. Firms are worried about being able to cope in the future Firms are being forced to do much more and cope with added complexity. Legacy solutions are poorly suited to current requirements 10

17 Appendices 17

18 Appendix One Testimonials Metro Bank: Alex Cockerell, Head of Treasury at Metro Bank - Metro bank had the need for a collateral management tool, but not the appetite for investing in expensive big bank collateral management systems and infrastructure. CloudMargin offered a costeffective; pay-as-you-go; plug-and-play cloud-based system, so there was no need for IT hardware, software or implementation spends. But most importantly the tool is simple and intuitive to use, and saves us time. Old Mutual Global Investors: Dan Cunningham, Head of Investment Operations at Old Mutual Global Investors - I ve been really impressed by the system s functionality and by how straightforward the onboarding process was. CloudMargin has also been very responsive to our requests for enhancements. Aite Group survey of collateral management systems 2015: CloudMargin s user interface is by far the most colourful and user-friendly of the vendor offerings in this space, which makes it ideally suited to users that are not accustomed to using an incumbent collateral management technology solution. 18
