Conference on Collateral Management Challenges

A number of high-profile defaults, volatility in the financial markets and heightened concerns over counterparty credit risk have placed great strain on many banks’ collateral programs and have highlighted the need for a new approach.

July 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Even before the collapse of the sub-prime market, the rise in instrument complexity and trading volumes had alerted the market of the need to update the techniques and systems used to manage the collateral process.

While collateralization can be viewed as a trading enabler and a way to protect against counterparty credit risk, it introduces its own set of operational and legal risks. During quiet times these risks may be low; however in times of great upheaval they can become significant. These risks need to be addressed for collateralization to be effective. The question arises: do the techniques which worked well several years ago still work today?

UniCredit, Credit Suisse, ING Investment Management Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, The Dutch Central Bank and other confirmed their participation at the 4th Annual Collateral Management Conference. It follows up on 3 previous conferences aimed to search for answers that interest many collateral managers. 120 attendees in the year 2009 declared quality and professionalism of the last conference:

One of the best events I attended so far.
Team Leader Collateral Management at Fortis Investments

Well done again on organization of a very successful collateral management conference. It was the best collateral management conference that I have attended over the past three years.
Business Development at Murex

Based on success of the previous events, the 4th Annual Collateral Management Conference will take place in a beautiful city of Amsterdam on 5–6 October 2010. The conference will provide presentations and case studies from leading European financial institutions, interactive panel discussions and two days of networking opportunities!
