The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) has elected its 2020 European Repo and Collateral Council (ERCC) committee, with four new members joining the 19-strong group.
The committee is made up of buy- and sell-side representatives and was drawn from ERCC member firms.
Committee members are elected annually by all ICMA ERCC member firms.
This year’s committee members began their one-year term on 6 February when the results were announced.
Newcomers to the committee include Peter Fejfer Nielsen, of Citigroup Global Markets; Marije Verhelst, of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V.; Lav Lukic, of J. P. Morgan Securities; and Amandine Triadu, of Mizuho International.
They replace Grigorios Markouizos, of Citigroup Global Markets; Michel Semaan, of Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank; David Joughin, of Deutsche Bank; and Nicola Danese of J. P. Morgan Securities.
The remaining members all served on the 2019 committee and include: Charlie Badran, of AXA Investment Managers; Nick Dent, of Barclays Capital Securities; Emma Cooper, of BlackRock Investment Management (UK); Eugene McGrory, of BNP Paribas; Jean-Robert Wilkin, of Clearstream Banking; Andreas Biewald, of Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft; Romain Dumas, of Credit Suisse Securities (Europe); Jean-Michel Meyer, of HSBC Bank; Antony Baldwin, of LCH; Daniel Bremer, of Merrill Lynch International; Paul Van De Moosdijk, of PGGM Vermogensbeheer B.V.; Sylvain Bojic, of Société Générale S.A.; Richard Hochreutiner, of Swiss Reinsurance Company; Gareth Allen, of UBS AG; and Harald Bänsch, of UniCredit Bank AG.
The last meeting of the ICMA ERCC Committee was held in London in November 2019. The date of the first meeting of the new committee is yet to be confirmed.
The ERCC also includes an operations group, which is currently chaired by Nicholas Hamilton, executive director at J.P. Morgan, with Alexander Westphal, of ICMA, acting as secretary of the group.
The operations group, which has existed since 2006, aims to address operations specific activities arising from the work of the ERCC Committee. It is composed of operations specialists from ERCC member firms.
The group, in turn, hosts four working groups that focus on regulation, market infrastructure, best practice and fintech.
ICMA boasts 588 members in total from 63 countries, including seven new members confirmed this month.
