Risk: What key changes have you seen in derivatives collateral management over the last decade?

Mark Higgins (MH): There have been some important developments, but I think the biggest changes are about to come. Within five years I think the landscape for collateral management will look very diff erent and, by 2015, I think it will be almost unrecognisable from today. The driver is going to be automation. When I started in derivatives collateral management in the mid 1990s there was very little automation and a high dependence on spreadsheets. Margin calls, for example, were agreed over the phone. Later it moved to faxes and then to email, which is how the bulk of messaging takes place today.
