Northern Trust, CloudMargin Partner to Launch Collateral Solution
Read MoreHide Full Article
Northern Trust Corporation (NTRS - Free Report) has launched an upgraded active collateral solution designed to help institutional investors manage their collateral more efficiently while addressing ever-changing market conditions.
The solution was developed in conjunction with CloudMargin, a leading global collateral management technology provider, which will improve service capabilities, and increase real-time transparency and platform resiliency.
The solution includes an automatic asset selection using configurable hierarchies, support for sophisticated eligibility requirements, real-time data access via client portals, report-writing capabilities, and complete end-to-end automation.
These advanced capabilities are part of Northern Trust's full suite of collateral, derivatives and liquidity management solutions. Clients can use these services globally, either as individual components to supplement their existing in-house procedures or as part of a larger suite of collateral management solutions.
NTRS & CloudMargin’s Management Remarks
Nadia Ivanova, head of business services at Northern Trust Asset Servicing, said, “Our clients must be strategic and nimble in managing their investment portfolios, including collateral management, to optimize asset deployment and minimize performance drag. Our advanced, digitized solutions can help clients achieve this objective – minimizing the value of assets that need to be tied up as collateral and managing counterparty exposure effectively. This showcases our technology vision in action, delivering the agility, resilience, automation, and long-term value our clients require.”

Northern Trust clients will benefit from full automation in their collateral workflow, and unprecedented levels of transparency. We are incredibly honoured that Northern Trust selected CloudMargin for this mission-critical service after a comprehensive review of the marketplace and rigorous due diligence process. The collaboration is another important milestone in our continued growth trajectory in our 10th anniversary year.”
