Evolution of securities finance: centralisation of liquidity creation, collateral and optimisation

Regulatory change and market dynamics are reshaping the securities finance landscape. What was once a largely operational activity has evolved into a strategic function, central to liquidity creation, financing and collateral optimisation. There is a shift from fragmented, siloed models to a more centralised approach under one ecosystem — enhancing visibility, improving asset mobility, and optimising liquidity across competing demands.In this session, we will explore how proactive liquidity management, robust risk frameworks, and centralised operating models can help asset owners and managers unlock greater efficiency - supporting both return generation and liquidity objectives in an increasingly complex market.
