Global Collateral Management Solutions (GCMS) has been formed to address the operational and strategic issues regarding collateral management. One of the core issues in the market meltdown of 2007 and 2008 was the management of collateral by asset managers, broker-dealers, commercial banks and custodians. Collateral management is at the heart of the explosion in exchange traded OTC and bespoke derivatives trading. Financial companies engaged in the trade of derivatives must make a choice – manage collateral with a 360° strategic view or risk a meltdown.
The GCMS team comprises senior level talent from the largest asset managers and clearing banks in the world. The team united with the specific intent of analyzing, understanding and SOLVING the operational, financial and investment related issues surrounding collateral management throughout the financial markets.
