Business Wire
State Street Corporation, the world�s leading provider of financial
services to institutional investors, announced today the launch of
an industry leading over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives servicing
platform. Already beta-tested, the OTC Hub is now live with PIMCO,
a leading global asset manager and long-time State Street customer.
The OTC Hub is a global, end-to-end servicing solution that
automates a number of stages in derivatives processing including
customer reporting, electronic trade flow and the reconciliation of
positions and cash flows between the middle and back offices. The
State Street platform will now reconcile data from the industry
utilities and dealers to customer trade details and automates
acquisition of vendor prices. The platform is flexible to allow for
enhanced services and capabilities as the derivatives market
evolves and industry technologies mature. �This cutting-edge
technology provides an excellent opportunity to automate what has
been a manually driven and complex part of our investment servicing
operations,� said Richard Tyson, executive vice president of PIMCO.
�Throughout our long partnership, State Street has consistently
delivered advanced technological solutions for the challenges that
come with a changing marketplace.� State Street�s new platform, The
OTC Hub, automates the processing of OTC derivatives, one of the
fastest growing asset classes. Since 1999, the volume of
derivatives contracts has surpassed an estimated US$600 trillion,
83 percent of which has originated in the over-the-counter (OTC)
market. �The use of over-the-counter derivatives is growing rapidly
and this new scalable solution will enable us to handle both the
increasing volume and complexity of these transactions,� said Joe
Antonellis, vice chairman of State Street. �We are pleased to offer
PIMCO, a world leader in fixed-income asset management, and our
customers globally a seamless solution for their derivatives.�
State Street�s enhanced platform fully supports Financial products
Markup Language (FpML), a key component to servicing derivatives,
and provides rich validation rules to ISDA FpML standards. Its
strong price validation functionality includes both internal and
customer model calculations for comparison. Additionally, the OTC
Hub also provides greater depth of trade details and economics,
which allows enhanced research and issue resolution. State Street�s
customers will benefit from having all aspects of their derivatives
transactions automated with online access to detailed information
such as resets and settlements, valuations, exposure and other risk
information. These capabilities will be available via State
Street�s industry leading portal, my.statestreet.com. �The
interactive-views function enables customers to easily and
efficiently navigate the complexity of their derivative
transactions and drill down, graph, customize and export data in a
variety of ways,� said Neil Wright, senior vice president and
product manager for derivatives at State Street. �Information from
the OTC Hub delivered via my.statestreet.com is customized for
specific customer roles, easing the implementation and adoption of
State Street�s derivatives processing capabilities.� Further
demonstrating its experience in the derivatives space, State Street
will launch its next Vision Series report on the topic of
derivatives in late September 2008. About State Street State Street
