BNY Mellon is distinctively positioned to help clients in the current economic environment, as the world’s largest global custodian with one of the industry’s largest securities lending programs, with $3 trillion in lendable assets. Its proprietary global collateral manage-ment technology platform processes a wide array of transaction types, including derivatives, tri-party repurchase agreements, portfolio swaps, and collateralized loans, as well as a wide variety of margin management activities.
Regulators globally are mandating additional requirements for col-lateral to reduce the risk of negative systemic events from impact-ing the market. Such regulations as Basel III and Dodd-Frank will require additional collateral deposited between trading partners, set standards on the types and amounts of collateral needed to transact business, impose collateral requirements on trades con-ducted through central clearinghouses, and require investors to use collateral more efficiently because of the increased demand.
OUTLOOK: BNY Mellon is committed to investing in core services and developing innovative products to support the unique require-ments of our clients. We invest in our technology and people to provide the highest level of service in today’s global markets.
