Description:

The only comprehensive account of operational risk in securities settlements
Securities Operations focuses on the settlement aspects of a securities transaction. As financial analysts make a greater effort toward quantifying and managing operational risk, they are paying more attention to securities transactions in general and to the settlement phase in particular. While describing the practical issues, this book enumerates the different "back office" related risks potentially encountered throughout the settlement. Simmons also covers more advanced topics such as derivatives, trade compensation, internal allocation of funding costs, and operational performance measurement.

* Develops the reader's knowledge of the trade lifecycle and other operational activities in a logical sequence
* Describes real-life events to illustrate topics
* Conveys both the risks inherent in the various activities and the necessary controls to minimise such risks
* Provides descriptions of typical automation in today's operational processing environment
* Describes securities industry objectives and the initiatives being developed to achieve them.
