The increasing role of the CSD in collateral management and OTC trade registration ACSDA 2011 General Assembly - Bermuda
Secular trends impacting our business • Mitigation of “too big to fail”– prevention of “too big to save”. • Regulation and transparency: -EMIR - Creation of new pan-European regulator - Basel III. • Risk management focus across the financial industry. • Larger clients now seek services across asset classes. • Competition and consolidation above us in the securities lifecycle. • In Europe, public sector intervention directly into the CSD space: -Target 2 Securities - Code of Conduct on Clearing and Settlement - Consultation process on CSD regulation.
In Europe, an enormous amount of external influences are already in train… EU financial service action plan / Lisbon agenda Private sector Code of Conduct Interoperability CSD competition Price transparency Service comparability Market access Service unbundling Removal of Giovannini Barriers Particularly: Legal and tax IT interfaces Market access Market harmonisation MIFID Price transparency CSD competition Customer protection T2S &CCBM2 EUR settlement Common CSD market access Via a common collateral platform (CCBM2) Integration of European market infrastructures Efficient interoperability Virtual asset poolaccess for CSD customers Low investment costs – quick to market Facilitator for T2S Interoperability and competition No barriers Level playing field Reduced costs Cross-border efficiency Common goal: a single harmonised financial market with standardised processes
…and further regulation is in the course of implementation… • EMIR – European Market Infrastructure Regulation - follows a similar approach to Dodd-Frank in the USA. - seeks to regulate the OTC derivatives market through: - greater volume of CCP clearing in OTC derivatives - greater transparency in OTC derivatives exposure - registration of OTC derivatives trades - collateralisation of counterparty exposure - inclusion of non-financial corporates in the regulation. -implementation – December 2012. • Basel III – a game changer for the utilisation of bank balance sheets.

The evidence of change so far… • Dramatic increase in demand for:-combined CSD / ICSD and collateral management services - anonymous access to the money markets. • Confusion / Consternation amongst the ill-prepared corporate sector. • Widespread projects to seek maximum collateral / capital optimisation within banks. • Pressure from national central banks to remove structural barriers to more efficient liquidity access. • CSDs working together, more than ever before, to seek opportunities in the new environment: - Link Up Markets - REGIS-TR - Clearstream and CETIP – collateral management. CSDs find themselves at the epicentre of the changes impacting global capital markets
REGIS-TR a case study in CSD collaboration in OTC derivatives

In summary… • The external environment has become very volatile. • Consequently we are all faced with new situations – both opportunities and threats. • The CSD role must change dramatically to react to this new environment… …and the key decision is how best to navigate to your target business and operating model - Very few CSDs have the financial and management means to cope alone with all the changes… …even those that do are well advised to collaborate – leveraging “economies of network” is faster, cheaper and more efficient than buying “economies of scale” - CSDs that do not learn to collaborate risk being marginalised Hence why we believe firmly in partnership and interoperability
