Recent market events and financial volatility have led regulators to call for greater transparency and risk mitigation.  Collateral management had already risen to the top of the agenda following the crisis and now, with Dodd-Frank / EMIR and the introduction of CCPs, new margin management practices have been added to the requirements.  

Misys Summit FT has proven collateral and margin management capabilities. Summit FT's Collateral Management and Margining module enables the monitoring, measuring and management of counterparty exposure in real-time.  Fully integrated within Summit's STP workflow, it delivers the full benefits of its cross-asset strength - helping you to manage, control and minimise risk.  The module has been extended to include real-time margin call management for futures and listed options.  Users now benefit from comprehensive collateral and margin management of both complex OTC and exchange traded derivatives for bi-lateral trades as well as cleared trades in one solution. 

Summit FT manages the full collateral workflow and exposure across business lines including: 

• ISDA compliance and management of collateral agreements
• Valuation - calculates the value of the collateralised trades, assets and positions  
• Real-time collateral demands, pledges and position monitoring
• Real-time margin call management for futures and listed options
• Statements from brokers and clearing houses
