Customers Expect

It’s clear that corporations expect more than ever before from their banking service providers. They are demanding the same level of insight for payments as they receive for other areas of their business, e.g. the tracking of products in the manufacturing cycle.

The Uncertainty of Pricing Models

I managed to catch some of the first day on Thursday of the "Pricing Model Validation: Mitigating Model Risk" conference. I thought it would be worthwhile going along since firstly the past 12-18 months have made model risk very topical both from the perspective of some of the failings in the use of certain complex derivative pricing mod...

Trade Reporting; all at sea

You would have though that trade reporting would be a simple thing with the regulatory organisation specifying what they wanted reported, by what medium, by whom and when but this is all too simplistic for today's markets. A discussion with one of the UK's top firm's compliance officers this week opened my eyes to the sheer lunacy of regulatory re...

Cash management - think of the carrot, not the stick

Cash management - think of the carrot, not the stick As the FSA’s deadlines for liquidity compliance draw closer, the topic is constantly in the press and is receiving plenty of lip service. The FSA estimated that the combined cost to the industry will be £150-200m, which will likely echo the Olympics 2012 budget and fall far short of the true c...

How to design a Single Dealer Portal. And how not to.

At Caplin, we’ve helped many banks create single-dealer trading portals, and we’ve watched lots of others do so. In the process, we’ve noticed that some banks plan their portals in a way that virtually guarantees success, while others take an approach that seems doomed to disappointment.

Half-Full or Half-Empty: IT Psychology

Depending on your outlook on life you're either looking at things and saying "Oh no...our world is changing again. Or for the optimists; "oh yeah...our world is changing again. Or for the realists; "oh...our world is changing again." Perhaps the changes are not as dramatic as the world envisioned in District 9 but they are ch...
