When Bad Things Happen to Good Trades
Perspectives on OTC Trade Processing: Mitigating Risk through Operational Workflow Efficiencies

Description: A webinar designed for senior operations professionals at investment firms looking to understand the impact that increasing volume and upcoming regulation will have on the future of trade processing. Featuring insight from a leading institution, analyst and solutions provider in capital markets, Perspectives on OTC Trade Processing explores opportunities to improve operational efficiency and reduce risk in trade processing.

Overview: OTC trade volumes continue to increase, yet according to a 2009 ISDA study, approximately 60% of OTC trades are still confirmed manually. While the use of OTC derivatives grows, institutional technology in the middle and back office has largely failed to keep up with the expansion; increasing cost and risk and hampering front office flexibility. Beyond this, the events of 2008 have ushered in a new era of regulatory oversight and placed increased focus on counterparty risk management and effective collateral management. This unique webinar examines how firms can leverage operational workflow improvements to remain compliant and competitive in a new OTC landscape.

  • Introduction & current OTC derivatives environment
  • Challenges facing ops professionals
  • Benefits of increased transparency
