TD Securities, a Lombard Risk Client, Wins Best Risk Management Initiative in the 2017 American Financial Technology Awards

We are delighted to wish TD Securities hearty congratulations for taking home the award for its collateral management and optimization service platform, built on Lombard Risk’s COLLINE. “Looking at it strategically, what are the other roles that we’re going to see being plagued by collateral management and margining going forward? You start looking at things like cheapest-to-deliver, cheapest-to-post, optimization, and the cost of funding. When we started seeing all of these other requirements and areas of concern, we realized that we had to build a strategic system to not only meet the regulation, but to really enable us to move forward.” says Stephen Neal, a director at TD Securities.
