Insight into collateral management and its increasing relevance in modern bankingIn the wake of recent financial crises, firms of all sizes have adjusted their policies to incorporate more frequent instances of collateral management.

Targeted at middle and back office managers seeking a hands-on explanation of the specifics of collateral management, this book offers a thorough treatment of the subject and attends to details such as internal record management, daily procedures used in making and receiving collateral calls, and settlement-related issues that affect the movements of cash and securities collateral.
