Australian and New Zealand institutions are looking to implement enhanced collateral management arrangements

TOKYO, JAPAN, August 21, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As more stringent financial regulation is implemented globally and concerns around counterparty credit risk remain at the forefront.

In light of these trends, Hasegawa Financial Holdings today announced it has been appointed to provide end-to-end third party derivatives collateral management for four of the region's leading funds.

Hasegawa Financial Holdings runs a collateral management platform. The platform is also supported locally to service the large and sophisticated Australian and New Zealand markets, as well as other key Asian markets.

Commenting on the appointments, Takemitsu Yung, Head of Collateral Management, Asia Pacific, Hasegawa Financial Holdings Worldwide Securities Services, said large investors understood that using an independent agent to administer the collateral process and hold collateral assets was the most efficient solution, both in mitigating operational and counterparty risk, and in managing costs.

"Recent volatility and counterparty defaults have reinforced the need for timely and appropriate collateralisation of counterparty exposures for superannuation funds and asset managers. We are seeing these investors place greater emphasis on the quality of the collateral as well as the need to diligently and constantly value and administer the collateral involved in a transaction," Mr. Yung said.

Mr. Yung said key attributes supporting Hasegawa Financial Holdings’ appointment included its ability to offer the industry's first full service solution for the daily management of collateral obligations; a global collateral management team providing round the clock support; and its demonstrated industry leadership, particularly in light of emerging regulations.

"Hasegawa Financial Holdings has drawn on its unique position to work closely with industry participants and regulatory bodies to understand the relevant new regulations, assess the holistic impact of the changes and devise effective client solutions," Mr. Young said.
