Neil Murphy, business manager at TriOptima, discusses the critical steps for phase five and six firms, offering insights into priorities, potential pitfalls, and solutions to meeting UMR deadlines.
Listen to one of our on-demand webinars, run in partnership with Risk.net and Asia Risk, and hear from panels of regional industry participants as they share best practices and recent experiences with UMR planning.
Firms are not required to complete legal documentation and custodian arrangements until they breach the 50 million threshold with each of their counterparties. Until that point, you are required to monitor IM exposure, potentially opening the door to a lighter path to IM compliance. Find out more about how TriOptima can help.
Regional bank requires support for day one calculation and monitoring of initial margin, with potential for future exchange of IM margin calls.
Firm requires connectivity to IM infrastructure, improved workflow support, electronic messaging for margin call exchange, and replacement of legacy processes with automation.
UMR challenges can be broadly split into two groups ‒ IM calculation and collateral management. In addition, the volume of firms in scope for phases 5 and 6, relative to those in the previous phases, brings additional headaches as firms compete for mutual resources.
What preparations should phase 5 and 6 firms be making, and where should they be focusing their time and effort?
