Regulations Master Class- The devil is in the detail
Master regulations impacting your collateral and liquidity management processes in one day
At this interactive regulations master class delegates will have the opportunity to take part in 4 interactive sessions on key regulations impacting their collateral management processes
This format is designed to enable you to have more intimate meaningful discussions with other
industry experts on the regulations you identified as being most important to you
This way you can be sure you get the details you need on regulatory requirements and their implications on your business.
Each workshop will be led by leading industry speakers from regulators, central banks to
practitioners- to ensure you receive a full 360 view on the rules and have your unreciprocated questions answered.
08.15 Registration and Breakfast
09.00 Chair Persons Opening Remarks Virginie O’Shea, Analyst, Aite Group, UK
Workshop 1 Emir and Dodd Frank
5
09.15 Keynote Presentation Getting the clarity you need on the Emir and Dodd Frank requirements for cleared and non cleared
trades
Ensuring you fully understand what the Emir and Dodd Frank regulations are intending to do
o Increase transparency by pushing OTC derivatives to central clearing and via OTFs and SEFs with trade repositories for the monitoring of all trading activity
o Reduce counterparty risk by significantly increasing the amount of collateral held against all OTC derivative transactions whether centrally cleared or otherwise
A comparison of how the implementation and timetables of Emir and Dodd Frank are similar and different from one another
Understanding how Emir and Dodd Frank applies to financial and non financial institutions differently
Key dates and requirements to keep track of to ensure timely compliance
Outlining the requirements in Emir and Dodd Frank to post initial margin and variation margin
o How the variation margin move to a T+O basis rather the current T+1 model used in bilateral transactions will impact your structure
o The way in which the new initial margin requirements will substantially increase the amount of collateral required
o Listing the types of assets CCPs will accept as highly liquid, high grade collateral
Expected regulation covering non-cleared trades- exceptions being applied for non cleared trades
o Outlining the instruments that will not be accepted by CCPs due to the lack of liquidity and so will be exempt from clearing
o Trades where one of the counterparties is not a financial entity and is using swaps to hedge or mitigate
The way in which the continuing existence of the bilateral market alongside the centrally cleared derivatives creates a bifurcated market model increasing your overall costs as bilateral netting is reduced and operational complexity increases
Tom Springbett, Manager of OTC Derivatives and Post Trade Policy, FINANCIAL SERVICES AUTHORITY, UK
10.00 Interactive working group discussion Practicalities for overcoming the collateral management challenges resulting from the impact of
Dodd Frank & EMIR on major OTC derivatives market participants
What are the challenges and are there any benefits?
What do clients need to consider when evaluating their practical response?
More collateral will be needed for initial margin payments for both cleared and non-cleared transactions – what is the impact for clients?
In addition to charges imposed by Basel III for non-collateralization- what can market participants do to better manage their collateral to respond to this trend?
Evaluating options available to you for transforming collateral institutions meet the eligibility by the CCPs - high grade collateral will be in short supply as collateral eligibility standards will get tighter under the proposed regulations, and demand will significantly
6
increase for the same high quality collateral called for by Basel III, Solvency II
T+0 margin movements will place further demands on collateral - will you need to keep more eligible collateral on hand to pre-fund all OTC derivatives trades with the new requirement to post initial margin? - Evaluating the third party solutions available to overcome this challenge
Operational consequences of the introduction of central clearing, coupled with the substantial remaining volume of bilateral trading will require that two market processes be put in place by virtually all market participants - how other organisations are managing the cleared and bilateral worlds
Collateral optimization will become a strategic priority as the cost of collateral Increases - can you gain a competitive advantage by efficiently managing margin across cleared and non-cleared derivatives?

Basel III
11.30 Interactive working group discussion
Evaluating potential responses to Basel III changes to decide which initiative would be the best for your bank
Operational responses- the incentives presented by Basel III to improve operating processes to meet requirements and increase efficiency and lower costs- sharing how other banks have started moving in this direction through
o Improving liquidity risk management o Fostering integration of risk and finance functions
Tactical responses- how banks have started relieving pressure on profitability by tactical responses such as adjusting lending rates, reflecting higher capital and liquidity costs through more risk sensitive pricing and performance measurement, and shifting to higher-value clients
Strategic responses- examples of strategic initiatives to help you respond to reduced profitability such taking a more active approach to balance sheet management
Avoiding common implementation challenges of Basel III covering functional, technical and organisational problems

09.15 Regulatory Keynote Panel Unravelling the regulatory maze to understand the collective impact of multiple complex
regulations which are increasing demand for high quality assets
Achieving full visibility on the new rules impacting your collateral operations: Crucial updates on how key regulations are interacting to create demand for high-end collateral from various sources simultaneously:
o Dodd Frank/EMIR: With compelling parts of the OTC derivatives being cleared through central counterparties, pinpointing which types of assets will qualify to meet the large amounts of liquid assets demanded for initial margin
o With the Basel III- Liquidity Cover Ratio (LCR) requiring banks to hold enough liquid assets to see through a month period of stress to make them more stable, and CRR and CRD IV requiring high capital, getting insight into how regulators expect banks to react to meet Dodd Frank/EMIR and Basel III at the same time
o As Solvency II encourages insurance companies to back their annuity portfolios with government bonds rather than corporate bonds through the European capital adequacy regime, assessing how will this shift will alter the way in which insurance companies view quality collateral
o How will increasing collateral requirements and limits on the use of repo and reverse repo transactions under the UCITS IV Directive impact hedge funds and custodians?
o Clarifying in which cases collateralised assets fall under the depositories safekeeping duties under AIFMD level 2 measures, and when they do whether they should be held in custody
o Despite aiming to ensure a more efficient harmonised post trade framework does the CSD regulation create more problems by increasing the need to move collateral-as central banks will only accept cash from CSD’s?
Understanding the consequences of the collective force of regulations: How regulators are coordinating across Europe and globally to address the overlaps, gaps and conflicts in these rules to avoid unintended consequences
o Providing the industry with the clarity required by regulators on the unresolved issue of extraterritoriality to ensure you know when you are bound by the global
10
reach of Dodd Frank o Outlining the differences in regulatory approaches across Europe, US and Asia and
identifying where opportunities of regulatory arbitrage still exist and what regulators are doing to eliminate them
Knowing what specifically needs to be in place by when: Upcoming regulatory requirements and key dates to be mindful of to ensure your projects are on track for compliance
Moderator: David Murphy, Derivatives and Financial Stability Expert, UK Diego Valiante, Ph.D. ECMI Head of Research, CEPS Research Fellow, European Capital Markets Institute (ECMI), Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), Brussels Stephen Bland, Strategic Advisor, Policy Issues, FSA, UK Boris Cournede, Head of Fiscal Consolidation Unit, OECD Economics Department, France
10.00 Interactive Q & A Session Ask the regulators your pressing questions to get the clarity you need on the new rules impacting
your collateral processes Chair: Pj Di Giammarino, CEO, JWG, UK
10.15 Market Structure Panel Assessing the consequences of regulatory reforms and intensifying competition amongst market
infrastructure on collateral solutions available to the industry
The likely outcome of competition amongst global custodians and CSDs as a number of global custodians plan to establish a CSD to centrally collect collateral- will this shift be beneficial to the end-user of these services in terms of more choice and reduced costs or just add another layer of complexity to the market?
If global custodians decide to price the risks associated with complying with AIFMD, will we see fees increase along the value chain driving costs to the end investor?
As fragmentation at market level and within banks is leading to collateral being left idle, the role of T2S in creating substantial collateral efficiencies by enabling financial institutions to pool securities in a single system
The challenges T2S leaves CSDs facing around leveraging the pool of assets under custody allowing customers to mobilise their assets efficiently across collateral pooling locations
With the combined costs of Dodd Frank, EMIR, and Basel III hitting banks bottom line and forcing them to turn away the collateral transformation revenue stream, which type of institution is best placed to serve the markets need for this imperative service?
Moderator: Pj Di Giammarino, CEO, JWG, UK Paul Bodart, Board Member T2S project, European Central Bank, Germany Oliver Deutscher, Group Head, Senior Vice President, Group Treasury Liquidity/Collateral /Repo, DZ Bank AG, Germany Jane Lowe, Director – Markets, Investment Management Association, UK

Various forms of segregation
Tendencies Guus Warringa, Board Member, Chief Counsel, APG Asset Management, Netherlands
12.30 Panel Discussion Evaluating the different segregation models available to you- and their dependencies to enable
portability
Comparing omnibus segregation- net and gross- as well as individual segregation to decide which is best for your risk appetite
Factors to consider when assessing different segregation models o The level of protection you will get- is there a residual risk that my assets are directly
or indirectly at risk? o Knowing what is protected-assets or value of assets o Understanding whether portability is possible – pre or post default o Being mindful of the constraints or dependencies for portability-as portability is only
offered when a client is fully segregated o Conflicts arising between client protection and credit protection- how to best
manage this o Outlining the additional costs the buy side should expect for using the different
segregation models o Assessing whether all clearing brokers are offering all segregation models equally o What are the costs to be considered from clearing broker point of view with regards
to different segregation models
Looking into the future - which segregation model would you like to see in an ideal world versus what the expected reality is

optimisation
Analysing the growing uptake in collateral optimisation by buy side firms now in addition to sell side firms
The key benefits for you: The way in which a collateral management platform with optimisation capabilities can enable you to efficiently manage collateral on an enterprise level
Check list to be mindful of to make it happen: o The need for data integration to ensure a single source and keep track of collateral
demands versus availability o The role of technology to identify, prioritize and deliver the lowest cost, mutually
acceptable collateral that may have previously been in separate silos geographically o The practicality of a phased approach of optimisation within silos versus a big bang
approach for the most beneficial results Jonathan Willder, GBS Collateral Management, Deutsche Bank, UK
Stream One Chair: Pj Di Giammarino, CEO, JWG, UK
Stream Two Gary Wright, CEO, B.I.S.S. Research, UK
14.30 Panel Discussion
Understanding the growing dependency between the front, middle and back office to
better manage collateral and liquidity
Balancing the different priorities of the front, middle and back office to realise where the conflicts may arise and how to best overcome them:
o Ways you can influence the front office shift their culture and collateral processes to think beyond the bottom line of their siloed function?
o Ways in which the middle and back office can collaborate with the rest of the business to look beyond processing volumes and consider individual clients needs and costs
The likely impact of not coordinating effectively across business lines on client satisfaction, commercial viability, and the liquidity risk profile of a firm
14.30 Panel Discussion Benchmarking your operational readiness for Basel III capital and liquidity standards against other firms to ensure you don’t get left behind
Ensuring you fully understand how Basel III capital and liquidity standards will collectively change your business through raising the level of high quality capital in the banking system, increasing liquidity buffers and reducing unstable funding structures
Shining light on areas of Basel III currently not fully understood including its interaction with other elements of Basel III often not considered (e.g. LCR/NSFR and leverage ratio)
Comparing how banks are using the transition period to move the new standards in a manner consistent with sound economic recovery to track if your ahead of behind the curve
Pinpointing the anticipated unintended consequences of these reforms to the
