Collateral management has come to the fore as an important method of mitigating counterparty credit risk in the aftermath of the financial crisis and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
The 4sight Collateral Management System provides an enterprise-wide collateral management and collateral optimisation solution that gives you control over your collateral processes.
It offers full front to back office collateral management for securities lending, repo, bilateral OTC derivatives, exchange-traded derivatives and centrally cleared derivatives products in a single integrated solution.
The system provides the tools you need to gain a clear picture of your firm's exposures, mitigate risk more effectively and optimise your collateral use across multiple products.
The system is used by some of the world's largest financial institutions as a standalone collateral management system or as an integrated element of the 4sight Securities Finance product suite. It also meets the needs of smaller financial firms looking for a flexible and easy to install collateral management solution.
The system allows you to view exposure in real time across business lines, giving you a centralised view of your collateral holdings. 4sight Collateral Management provides full front to back office processing from inventory management, margin control and optimisation, through to trade lifecycle workflow, dispute tracking and settlement.
The system also offers tools to automate manual processes, mitigate risk more effectively and respond more easily to regulatory change, while making the optimum use of your firm's balance sheet and retaining vital liquidity.

areas:
