MUFG has joined Euroclear鈥檚 Collateral Optimisation Service.
The solution combines Euroclear鈥檚 collateral management infrastructure with Transcend鈥檚 optimisation technology, bringing together two areas of market expertise to support a growing demand from the market to make the allocation of pools of collateral more optimal.
According to Euroclear, by adopting the service, MUFG is extracting value from the reallocation of its pool of collateral across trades and counterparties, enabling more dynamic decision-making, and improved capital efficiency.
The Euroclear Collateral Optimisation Service enables clients to reduce their overall funding costs through a more cost-effective collateral allocation, freeing up high-quality liquid assets.
The service provides automated, transparent management of collateral and liquidity, also allowing for faster responses during periods of market stress.
The platform allows clients to run multiple scenarios in parallel, applying different objectives across business lines and adapting strategies to evolving market conditions.
It is also fully integrated within Euroclear鈥檚 Collateral Highway, which surpassed 鈧�2 trillion in collateral under management last year, facilitating the secure and efficient settlement of the transactions.
Andre van Hese, international head of securities financing at MUFG, states: 鈥淓fficiency of decision making is key for MUFG, so we are pleased to enable our trading desk to make optimal use of the collateral pool across a number of binding constraints, delivering time, and cost savings.鈥�
Marije Verhelst, head of product strategy and product development, collateral management, and securities lending at Euroclear, adds: 鈥淚t is fantastic to see clients like MUFG adopting our Collateral Optimisation Service which demonstrates the tangible value it brings.
鈥淲e are focused on helping clients optimise their collateral more effectively and respond with greater agility in a complex environment.鈥�
