In Episode 20 of Ahead of the Curve, Will Thomey and Richard Barton from Acadia discuss the merits of improving efficiency and fully automating the settlement of collateral. The launch of Settlement Manager has spurred the ability for firms to access a unique, controlled, and robust settlement process that immediately settles collateral once a transfer has been agreed. Will and Richard also explore how the industry could pivot towards improved settlement netting and tokenization – further removing friction and cost.
