Infrastructure
Counterparties should be aware of the infrastructure available to them before they start trading. For instance, it would be difficult for counterparties who do not have collateral management and operations departments to trade repos. In these cases, where back office operations are limited, counterparties might want to consider entering into triparty trades which are operationally less cost intensive.
Moreover, potential repo customers should think about the type of transactions they are more likely to get involved in. For instance, a counterparty with no cash management system may find securities lending and Borrow vs Fee transactions more beneficial. More sophisticated institutions may want to trade in the whole range of repo products. UBS can help you find the most appropriate type of transaction for you.
