US regulation: reconciliations and collateral management

―Counterparty Exposure Repository‖
ISDA’s consultative report on OTC derivatives data
reporting and aggregation requirements (Sept 23, 2011)
suggests the need for a single ―Counterparty Exposure
Repository.‖
 Proposed scope
– Single repository for aggregate risk view for regulators
– Current trade repositories are designed for transactional level
reporting, not portfolio level
– Contain the net mark-to-market exposure for each counterparty
portfolio and the corresponding collateral, as well as the firm’s
calculation of net exposure after the application of collateral
6
Impact to the buy side
 Focus on frequent proactive reconciliations
 Establish a robust positions dispute management process
 Connect collateral and reconciliation workflows
 Consider cross asset class and regional considerations
 Review reconciliation processes with respect to cleared trades

Collateral management: AcadiaSoft
 In 2011 the MarkitSERV portal will provide clients with integrated
access to the AcadiaSoft Messaging Platform (AMP), an online
service that facilitates and manages communications required
for collateral calls.
 The joint solution will provide improved communication related to
setting and maintaining the collateral required between
counterparties to over-the-counter (OTC) derivative
transactions.
 The new service will enable buy- and sell-side counterparties to
manage information electronically on exposures, commitments
and adjustments to collateral, and create an audit trail of all
communication about margining.
 The solution is the first step taken by the two companies to
develop a multi-functional collateral processing platform for the
OTC derivative market.
19
Future strategy
 Further integration of AMP with MarkitSERV PortRec
 AMP integration with DTCC Collateral Warehouse
 AMP and PortRec integration with other collateral management
system vendors
