Asia is emerging as a leading region in environmental and social issues, where a vast majority of investors and issuers consider these topics as important or very important. This is driven both by local demand but also foreign investors investing into the region. While the trend towards sustainable products is clear, and this presents very interesting opportunities, it can also increase complexity and costs for financial firms.

Listen to Niccolo Polli, CEO of HSBC Luxembourg and Riccardo Millich, Asia- Europe Sales Lead, HSBC Luxembourg as they discuss the opportunities and implications of ESG investing in Asia.

Legislating for the clearing and margining of derivatives trades has been a major undertaking for the world’s regulators since the 2008 financial crisis, with many new rules related to this topic having come into force in the intervening years. As part of this legislative programme, BCBS-IOSCO’s global Uncleared Margin Requirements phases 5 and 6 are scheduled to apply from 1 September 2021 and 2022 respectively. Many firms not yet in scope will now need to comply, meaning that they will have to have in place inter alia the operational processes to support the margin calculation, exchange and custody arrangements involved.

Listen to our experts Henry Raschen, Director, Regulatory Outlook at HSBC’s Securities Services discusses the requirements and implications of UMR with Craig Cowe.
