Finance/Re-finance
Clearstream's integrated, real-time collateral management and securities lending and borrowing services are gathered under the Global Liquidity Hub. While these services are already available for all asset classes, optimal financing opportunities for equities are set to increase under TARGET2-Securities (T2S).
- The Global Liquidity Hub's services were traditionally geared towards fixed income held in the ICSD. However, the Liquidity Hub Connect service has increased the amount of equities in the Global Liquidity Hub even if it remains under local custody and is spread across numerous accounts.
- Equities are increasingly used for collateralisation and secured funding. Customer's benefit from Clearstream's triparty services to improve their day-to-day liquidity management.
- Under T2S, it will be even easier to pool equities held in all participating markets with Clearstream's CSDs. Equities held in the CSDs can then be automatically mobilised for triparty use in Clearstream's collateral management service or for securities financing.
