Join us to understand the Evolution of Collateral : Beyond UMR. 

Sponsored by Margin Tonic, and co-sponsored by AcadiaSoft, BNY Mellon, Cassini Systems and CloudMargin.

Need a break from UMR?We can’t ignore the fact that Initial Margin is driving an unprecedented level of transformation right now across the Uncleared derivatives industry… but what happens after Initial Margin Phase 6?

• Which future industry trends can we expect to see across Collateral?
• How will they impact areas such Funding & Optimisation, Operations, Technology and Legal?
• What are the options going forwards to reduce the Collateral total cost of ownership (TCO)?
• How can we remove barriers between systems and teams?
• How are Vendors looking to support these future changes?

This is an essential event for practitioners in the Collateral space and related domains, especially within Uncleared derivatives. Suitable attendees include operations, optimisation, technology, settlement, xVA, risk management and legal.

Location: The Montcalm Royal London House, 22-25 Finsbury Square, London EC2A 1DX

Time: 1:30 pm – 5 pm, followed by networking drinks at The Moncalm's 13th floor rooftop bar, The Aviary. 

Cassini and SimCorp invite you to participate in an industry forum of subject-matter experts who will share their experiences in rolling out uncleared margin rules (UMR) programs for in-scope firms.

During this complementary workshop, we will explore the steps required to become compliant, discuss how to minimize capital impact, manage the USD 50 million threshold with counterparts, optimize funding and collateral costs, and how to run what-if-trades and implement backtesting.

Guest speakers from Cassini Systems, SimCorp, Links Risk and Margin Tonic will provide a guide to effectively manage UMR and Standard Initial Margin Model (SIMM) in your organization.
