Uncleared Margin Rules have certainly increased operational complexity as in-scope firms look to integrate workflows with a now broadened set of global tri-party and third-party custodians, central utilities, fund administrators, and outsourcers. As a result, there has been a learning curve for these firms as they try to develop the operational processes to meet requirements efficiently and effectively.

By centralizing disparate margin centers and harmonizing eligibility schedules, Transcend’s analytics seamlessly validate collateral adequacy and execute optimal VM allocations.
