The final initial margin phases will fall on mostly smaller firms with limited internal resources to manage all of the moving parts of UMR compliance.
We’re pleased to make it simple for our clients to access the expertise of both Margin Reform and Margin Tonic as we navigate the IM rules, addressing challenges and finding solutions together.
Margin Reform will provide clients with advice on strategy and insight across derivatives, repo and securities lending for the margin, collateral and legal domains. Margin Tonic will assist clients with defining, delivering and stimulating change within collateral and post-trade domains. The collaboration will allow clients to access a suite of UMR educational workshops, analysis, strategy advice, IT and operational change delivery, project management and training.
Shaun Murray, Managing Director, CEO of Margin Reform commented:
Our partnership with AcadiaSoft enables us to provide clients with a unique one-stop-shop for UMR compliance by bringing together two teams of collateral experts. Working together, we will help firms design and structure an approach to ensure a smooth ride towards UMR compliance.
