Collateral Management System

Clear Views of Counterparty Exposures

Collateral management has come to the fore as an important method of mitigating counterparty credit risk in the aftermath of the financial crisis and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008.

4sight Xpose provides an enterprise-wide collateral management andcollateral optimisation solution that gives you control over your collateral processes.

It offers full front to back office collateral management for securities lending, repo, bilateral OTC derivatives, exchange-traded derivatives and centrally cleared derivatives products in a single integrated solution.

The system provides the tools you need to gain a clear picture of your firm's exposures, mitigate risk more effectively and optimise your collateral use across multiple products.

Xpose is used by some of the world's largest financial institutions as a standalone collateral management system or as an integrated element of the4sight Securities Finance product suite.
