China, for once, is relatively quiet – well in certain respects. Today, we’re nearly mid-way through the two week celebration of Chinese New Year as we move into the year of the rabbit. The streets for the past week have been somewhat quiet and offices were closed as millions of Chinese returned to their hometowns to celebrate the lunar calendar

Without a doubt when we look back at the year in review for 2010, one of the key industry issues of the year will be that of consumer data protection. With numerous breaches at some of the world’s largest banks and credit card institutions, it’s clear that data privacy and protection is still an issue – and one that is back on the front page this ...

Recently, the industry has focused on the communication between the two parties involved in OTC contract confirmation. Media attention has concentrated on the debate of market infrastructure and the role of the central counterparty.

With contracting assets under management, fund management firms, fund managers and hedge funds alike have been quick to extend performance fee schedules and introduce innovative, complex products to maintain client interest. Yet, they’re missing the simplest of tricks - automation of fee billing - as many of these potential fees remain under bil

The internal operational challenge surrounding OTC derivatives remains an area that individual firms have to take responsibility for. In early 2008 we were obsessed about volume, bottlenecks and efficiency, in 2009 we are facing a slightly different operational challenge; that of counterparty risk and exposure management and underlying principles o...

Prior to joining the WTO, the knowledge and experience of bank staff in Chinese banks was not an issue.
