Clearstream has launched a new data-based solution to optimise collateral management: the Collateral Mapper. This provides clients with an automated and complete view of their collateral positions. It summarises complex sets of reports on collateral usage in an intuitive dashboard and evaluates the collateral potential of an equity portfolio. It also identifies the spare capacity in rebalancing an inventory towards equity. The Collateral Mapper can be accessed as a self-serve tool via Clearstream’s Xact platform and will be available for free in a three-month trial period.
