Regulators around the globe will have a profound impact on the over-the-counter (OTC) market, and broker-dealers will have to change market practice or the regulators will implement even more stringent controls.

Despite a new securities market structure emphasizing standard products and lower risk, customization and risk assumption continue.

Broker-dealers need to realize that OTC derivatives will be less profitable than previously but the right technology and services will entice order flow. Firms that want to play in OTC derivatives will have to fund projects to implement the automation and process controls demanded by regulators and investors.

TowerGroup encourages OTC derivatives technology teams to focus on front-to-back automation so as to reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and generate better valuations.

To thrive in tomorrow's new paradigm, institutions must address electronic trading of OTC derivatives, cross-asset-class trading, and the real-time needs of counterparties and regulators.
