Pay street lending rates

Efficient collateral management - we secure all borrowing with collateral and manage the operational aspects, such as daily mark-to-market, margin
calls and substitutions for you, in line with collateral schedules defined by CDB Bank

 

Outsource the collateral management aspect of your street lending activity to CDB’s flexible Triparty Securities Lending (TSL) service and leave yourself free to focus on the opportunities in the market.

With TSL, you make all the important market-based decisions and focus on the business of generating revenue and delegate all the operational aspects of your lending transactions to a neutral specialised triparty collateral management agent.  

What TSL does for you

You can opt for the full outsourcing solution, whereby CDB Bank ensures that each and every securities loan settles with your market counterparty and that your counterparty exposure is mitigated with collateral of your choice and with the margin you prescribe.

  • The collateral selection is sufficiently diversified by adhering to concentration limits specified by you.
  • The loan and collateral securities are valued daily to make certain that not only the counterparty exposure is mitigated, but the margin that you specified is maintained throughout the life of your securities lending transaction.
  • We will also monitor any corporate events related to the collateral received, and we have fully automated controls in place that will either trigger a substitution or make the necessary adjustment.
  • The service includes a comprehensive suite of reporting options, including an online monitoring tool, Triweb, which is both flexible and intuitive.
