MARGIN TONIC CO-FOUNDER CRAIG PEARSON SAT DOWN WITH BNY MELLON’S BRIAN RUANE TO DISCUSS HOW CURRENT AND EVOLVING INDUSTRY TRENDS WILL IMPACT COLLATERAL & POST-TRADE DOMAINS.

We are living in an evolutionary period in which the financial services industry is undergoing dynamic and extensive change, both in response to market forces and pro-actively to drive growth.

A huge amount of market transformation is taking place in parallel, driven by long-term market volatility, ever-increasing regulatory burdens, rising rates and funding costs, as well as a strong industry focus on key themes such as sustainability, climate and the digital landscape.

As such, at Margin Tonic we deemed this to be a great opportunity to discuss some of the key industry themes and trends in more detail, alongside our friend Brian Ruane from BNY Mellon.

Brian is a trusted and respected industry figurehead, whose views on these topics are always valued.

Margin Tonic is also a long-term partner of BNY Mellon, which we support with a number of our solutions.

Craig Pearson, co-founder at Margin Tonic, had the golden ticket to a fireside chat with Brian.

KEY TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE:

• TRENDS THAT WE ARE SEEING IN COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT & POST-TRADE DOMAINS
• HOW RECENT REGULATIONS HAVE IMPACTED THE INDUSTRY
• THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES THESE HAVE PRESENTED TO FIRMS
• HOW BNY MELLON IS SUPPORTING ITS CLIENTS TO TACKLE THESE EVOLVING TRENDS
