Interesting article by Phil Davis in the FT today (registration required) about asset managers being required by Dodd-Frank to clear trades through a central counterparty. The article quotes David Field of Rule Financial. Rule have apparently conducted a buy-side survey which confirms several of the consensus opinions of the Clearing and Settlement Working Group (CAS-WG) (which I blogged about last week).
Field said:
The buyside is very confused about the timelines. We conducted a survey on this and answers ranged from September 2012 to December 2014. One even said December 2015.
The article concludes that the buy side is unaware of the timeline and is also unprepared for having to post collateral on deals for the first time.
