Overview
The Collateral Management System (CMS) is the heart of LCH's margin processing proposition for our members.
The CMS is an online collateral management application hosted on the LCH Portal which puts you in control, enabling you to prefund margin, recall excess margin and substitute posted collateral, while enhancing transparency on the status of instructions and reducing the risk of errors or omissions.
The CMS enables Clearing Members at LCH Ltd to:
- Instruct movements of securities and cash to/from the clearing house or transfer securities and cash between mnemonics and sub accounts
- Instruct and update triparty collateral transactions
- View online security, cash and triparty balances and headroom as well as online liabilities by account and market and collateral valuations for cash, securities and triparty transactions
- Receive email notifications of instructions and instruction status updates
- Export instruction and balance data to .csv files
Standards Reporting and Messaging
The CMS supports industry standard SWIFT MT (ISO 15022) and MX (ISO 20022) messaging, making managing collateral simpler, more secure and more efficient for our Clearing Members and clients.
CMS Standard Messaging Service
The CMS Standard Messaging Service gives Clearing Members, Agent Members and Service Providers the power to instruct collateral movements with LCH and receive margin call notifications and statement reporting for cash and bilaterally delivered securities. The service is provided in addition to the online CMS User Interface and is available for all account types.
CMS Custodial Seg Messaging Service
The CMS Custodial Seg Messaging Service provides SwapClear Clearing Members with an interface to affirm or reject triparty transaction adjustments proposed by a client with LCH and receive reporting on the triparty transaction status and underlying security allocations. The service is provided in addition to the online CMS User Interface and is only available for the Custodial Seg account type.
CMS Third Party Messaging Service
The CMS Third Party Messaging Service allows Clearing Members to configure clients, asset managers, collateral managers or other third parties with direct reporting of clearing house margin call notifications and statement reporting for cash and bilaterally delivered securities in respect to individually segregated accounts (ISAs).
