Collateral target operating model

The firm’s business operating model must be aligned with the strategy. Each firm needs to design a target operating model that addresses key dimensions such as:

• End-to-end processes for margin calculation, call processing (in and out), dispute management, FOP/DVP instruction, asset servicing, substitution, default management etc.
• Critical business functions, services and capabilities such as risk management, eligibility and haircut management, collateral segregation, tri-party access, funds transfer pricing etc.
• Controls model covering preventive and detective controls such as limits, reconciliations, Service Level Agreements etc.
• Information model covering trade capture, inventory management, eligibility and haircut data, reference data (LEI, SSI)
• Outsourcing model: what functions will be retained in-house, what could be out-sourced to collateral service providers or industry utilities
• Identification of technology services needed to support automated functions
• People model: identification of roles, responsibilities, skills and cost centres for residual manual functions
