HEAD OF COLLATERAL SERVICES

The demand for collateral will only increase into the future. Our aim is to support the South African capital market in monetising securities as collateral and realising the benefits of enhanced liquidity, collateral fluidity and risk reduction.

A leading technology approach

Through our effective, end-to-end solution for market participants, developed in partnership with Clearstream, part of the Deutsche Borsë Group, we offer:

  • Automated selection, allocation and optimisation of collateral across a range of contractual obligations
  • Unlimited collateral substitution in accordance with eligibility, sales and corporate events
  • Collateral management by perfection of pledge or outright title transfer
  • Re-use of securities, if permitted, with traceability of collateral within a secure environment
  • Daily evaluation and reconciliation of collateral across all contractual obligations
  • Real-time monitoring of collateral eligibility and sufficiency, for both givers and receivers

Enhancing market liquidity

Strate’s Collateral Services supports the South African financial market by breaking siloed approaches to collateral management, thereby enhancing market liquidity, enabling collateral fluidity and, among other things, helping to mitigate counterparty credit risk.

Within organisations, and across the broader financial markets, adopting a triparty collateral service is beneficial to both collateral givers and receivers, while providing simpler access to counterparties and collateral optimisation opportunities.

End-to-end collateral approach

An ecosystem in which an efficient and automated collateral function is fundamental to effectively optimising the collateral provision obligations of collateral givers, while honouring the eligibility requirements of collateral receivers.
