Elevator Pitch
Built by the market for the market.
HQLAX was founded by financial market practitioners in search of a solution.
We were born out of first-hand experience of the frustrations and pain-points deriving from inefficient collateral mobility.
HQLAX has been developed in partnership with Tier 1 organisations. Global Custodians and Triparty Agents including: Bank of New York Mellon, BNP Securities Services, Citibank, Clearstream, Euroclear, and J.P. Morgan.
Problem Solved
Cross-custody movements of inventory consume precious intraday liquidity and create settlement risks, at a significant cost to the market participant.
Frictionless:
- HQLAX makes the transfer of ownership of securities seamless and easy across disparate collateral pools – by removing the cross-custody movement of ISIN’s.
- HQLAX platform is fully integrated with the existing marketing infrastructure.
- As a result, HQLAX enables frictionless transactions that are much more efficient and streamlined, eradicating data discrepancies, reducing back-office activities, and minimising operational risk and settlement failure.
Real-time:
- Ownership transfer of collateral happens without an underlying supplement move at the custodian or the central securities depository (CSD) layer.
- By decoupling ownership transfer from movement of assets, exchange can take place simultaneously, in real-time and when required – without the need to actually move the security physically.
Precise:
- Historically, trade collateral had a date on which it was due to settle.
- But by using HQLAX, firms can specify the exact point in time the collateral should be
- Which means HQLAX can get the right collateral to the right place at the right time.
