Full study details:

Collateral has taken centre stage in operations across capital markets as clearing mandates increase demand in an environment already under pressure from regulatory reforms, bank retrenchment and macro-economic head winds.

The need for effective collateral management and new processes to move and allocate collateral has been well publicised.

But with the repo market under strain like never before and sub-optimal collateral usage across the market it is clear that there is a long way to go before collateral is truly optimized.

In order to better understand how the buyside, corporates and their service providers are adapting and changing how they view and process collateral, Global Investor Group is conducting a definitive study across buy-sides, prime brokerages, custody banks, corporates and infrastructure providers to analyse where the market is today and what needs to be done to increase efficiency.

The survey is anonymous and should take no more than 10 minutes.
