Collateral and liquidity management for asset managers

Optimise liquidity and performance

Across funds, portfolios and clients

Asset managers constantly balance generating alpha with meeting client, operational and regulatory obligations. Collateral management sits at the centre of this challenge, driving performance, liquidity and investor transparency. Yet, many firms still rely on siloed teams and fragmented infrastructure across trading teams and back office.

CloudMargin replaces spreadsheets and legacy, competing systems with:

One intuitive, cloud-native platform, streamlining collateral and liquidity workflows across clients, funds, portfolios, asset classes and custodians, delivering real-time visibility and control across teams
Cost efficient, modern collateral operations across the asset management industry, from global multi-fund strategy managers to regional and boutique firms — maximising performance today, while building resilience for tomorrow.

The challenge of dynamic markets and static insights

Rapid market shifts demand fast, informed decisions, yet data is often delayed, siloed or reconciled after the fact. Competing objectives across teams further impact productivity and effective liquidity management.

Collateral drag on performance
‍Inventory silos and trading desk dislocation trap high-quality assets across teams, funds, portfolios and custodians, limiting funding efficiency, constraining portfolio flexibility and eroding alpha.

Operational resilience and liquidity
‍Manual processes and fragmented workflows increase margin call backlogs, settlement failures, delayed custodian payments and counterparty risk.

Fragmented data and limited visibility
Multiple custodians, delayed settlement and disparate data undermine transparency, control and liquidity management.

Client and regulatory transparency pressures
Investors and regulators expect detailed, timely reporting including asset ownership, collateral usage and portfolio liquidity across funds and regulatory regimes.
