The ISDA Optimal Future State Collateral Blueprint is a working document that represents the industry’s collective vision of an ideal collateral processing framework. The fundamental purpose is to design and agree a blueprint that the industry can work towards, which meets the changing demands and challenges of the collateral process. This blueprint is governed by a set of design principles and processing best practices, which are intended to serve as an industry target processing, architectural and control operating model. This will maximize accessibility by market participants while maintaining industry vision. Subsequent iterations of this document may be published to include additional factors based on changing business trends, regulatory changes or other unforeseen circumstances that were not considered at the start of the blueprint’s development.
