New whitepaper from 4sight

4sight Financial Software has published a new whitepaper looking at whether big data scenario analysis can be applied to collateral optimisation.

It also evaluates the techniques that firms can employ to perform portfolio wide optimisation runs.

“Collateral optimisation continues to be one of the key buzzwords among financial market participants in 2015,” said Martin Seagroatt, 4sight’s marketing director and author of the paper.

“With further rules coming in from 2015, efficient use of collateral should remain a key focus for financial firms over the next few years.”

Collateral optimisation continues to be one of the key buzzwords among financial market participants in 2015, according to Seagroatt.

Collateral costs, particularly those for high quality liquid assets, may have increased somewhat over the past year, according to 4sight, while incoming regulations are expected to drive demand for collateral—notably central clearing of derivatives in the US.
