HQLAᵡ is an innovative financial technology firm founded by financial market practitioners. Our vision is to accelerate the financial ecosystem’s transition towards frictionless ownership transfers of assets, and our core clients are financial institutions active in securities lending and collateral management. Our immediate goal is to improve collateral mobility amongst market-leading triparty agents and custodians. Together with Deutsche Börse, we created a multi-layer operating model which enables our clients to exchange ownership of baskets of securities across disparate collateral pools at precise moments in time. The atomic nature of our Delivery vs Delivery (DvD) ownership transfers provides our clients with capital cost savings by reducing credit risk, intra-day liquidity requirements, and operational risk. Our core cultural values: • Focus on the client • Simplify all tasks • Build relationships • Collaborate and challenge • Act with integrity • Seek diverse perspectives • Make a difference every day • Strive for continuous self-improvement • Avoid finger-pointing • Think big, but also be humble • Maintain a positive mindset • Enjoy the journey Find out more at www.hqla-x.com
