The primary impetus behind the collaboration is the need to address concerns surrounding the operational lifecycle of tri-party repo transactions. Tri-party repos are typically utilized by large securities firms and bank holding companies with broker-dealer operations in a bid to garner short-term financing from cash investors, such as money-market mutual funds.
With a number of industry challenges and vulnerabilities facing this space, Clearstream opted to roll out its Clearstream Repurchase Conditions (CRC), which was designed to help simplify tri-party repo and its respective settlement processes. The joint agreement will see the CRC combined with ColleX’s platform capabilities, which deploys trade negotiation technology via Auction, Order Book and Request for Quote.
In particular, this combination will cater to buy-side clients – the CRC currently supports a plethora of traditional dealer counterparts, to insurers and corporate treasurers looking for secured funding. Teaming up with ColleX’s platform will also help support bank-to-bank and peer-to-peer (P2P) liquidity as well.
