Avaloq and Comyno have effectively introduced a pre-integrated securities financing solution that provides improved risk management, better access to liquidity, and thorough overviews of collateral inventories.

Its goals are to ease compliance with the Uncleared Margin Rules (UMR) and Securities Financing Transaction Regulation (SFTR) and to establish a streamlined financial market with better liquidity availability.
This solution was introduced by Avaloq as a collaborative effort with Comyno, a software expert in the securities finance industry with headquarters in Frankfurt.
Comyno’s C-One multi-entity platform creates vast asset pools across many financial institutions, facilitating easy access to liquidity. It offers integrated processes for securities lending requests, discussions, and direct integration into the Avaloq platform, allowing firms to initiate trades with one other directly.
In order to meet SFTR and UMR standards, the fresh approach will provide comprehensive and accurate information on collateral valuation, including daily fluctuation data.
