EquiLend has launched its new US Mark-to-Market solution, giving securities finance firms a cost-effective alternative for daily mark-to-market processing built directly within the EquiLend platform.
Firms currently relying on third-party mark-to-market infrastructure can now access the same core functionality 鈥� centralised pricing, automated contract marking, and Security Payment Order (SPO) charge generation 鈥� without leaving the platform they already use.
According to the firm, the solution uses existing contract data and centralised pricing to automate contract marking and charge generation within EquiLend, removing the need to route the mark-to-market workflow through a separate system.
EquiLend says that the redesigned algorithm marks contracts automatically, flagging only those with a break on a field specifically required to calculate the mark 鈥� such as currency, collateral margin, rounding factor, or quantity 鈥� or deals identified as orphans, keeping manual intervention to a minimum.
Contract pairing is handled through Unified Comparison.
For clients running SPO charges, payment settings and parameters are configured once, and EquiLend automatically generates and sends charges after contracts are marked.
Mark-to-market data integrates directly into client systems, keeping downstream processes and internal workflows current without requiring additional reconciliation or data handling.
Nick Delikaris, chief product officer, EquiLend, states: 鈥淎utomated mark-to-market solutions have existed for many years, but now we are offering clients this upgraded functionality natively within the EquiLend ecosystem, providing industry-standard functionality as part of our post-trade suite of products.鈥�
Simon Waddington, head of post-trade and RegTech Solutions, at EquiLend, adds: 鈥淏y building these significantly upgraded mark-to-market capabilities natively into EquiLend, using contract data and centralised pricing we already have within our broad ecosystem, we鈥檙e offering clients a cost-effective solution for a critical daily operational process.鈥�
