The Counterparty Collateral Management team works to reduce counterparty risk by negotiating and administering collateral annex provisions for all master agreements (derivatives, repo, securities lending, clearing, prime brokerage, etc.).

The collateral annex defines the acceptable collateral, calculation rules for each asset type, how custodial relationships are handled, and what actions are to occur during an event of a default or other termination event.

The Cross-Asset Collateral and Risk negotiation team is responsible for providing the operational feasibility review during the legal negotiation, regulatory compliance, and controls where applicable, and input and validation of agreements in the relevant databases and investigating any disputes or regulatory inquiries.
