Collateral and Margin Protection

Title to your margin collateral or other securities held at a large corporate broker, have many times passed to such corporate broker.

This transfer of title could be unnecessary in many trading products such as exchange traded derivatives.

Passing of title means, in the event of bankruptcy of your corporate broker, you may end up having only a contractual claim against a bankrupt broker.

We will:

review your broker agreements to assess whether on some products title has been unnecessarily transferred.

suggest legal mechanisms to retain ownership of your margin collateral and securities.

assist in negotiations with corporate brokers and third party custodians.
