Collateral

A clickable collateral desk, from exposure down to the individual bond.

What it does

Collateral management: who owes whom margin, what has been posted against it, and which bonds are free to use. It usually lives in spreadsheets and email. This prototype shows what a proper screen for it could look like.

• An overview of exposure, posted and allocated collateral across agreement types, by day, month or year.
• Drill-downs to the agreement, counterparty and bond.
• An inventory manager and a rules engine for choosing which assets to post.

How it's built

• Three single-file pages, plain JavaScript and Chart.js. No backend.
• All the data is generated in the browser from a fixed random seed, so every value is made up.
• Every figure that shows up in two places comes from one shared function, so screens can't disagree.
