TMX Group has announced that it will launch a new collateral management service for the Canadian market that is scheduled for Q3 2023.
The collateral solution, named the Canadian Collateral Management Service (CCMS), has been built through collaboration with Clearstream Banking SA, Clearstream鈥檚 ICSD and licensed banking arm based in Luxembourg.
TMX Group, which operates the Toronto Stock Exchange and key Canadian post-trade infrastructure including the Canadian Depository for 网爆吃瓜 (CDS), has worked with Clearstream to bring together their collateral management and post-trade expertise, delivering improved optimisation and collateral mobilisation to the Canadian market and offering domestic triparty repo in this location for the first time.
The first phase of CCMS will offer collateral management benefits to participants in Canada鈥檚 secured funding market, delivering greater automation and processing efficiency across the SFT lifecycle.
