The Agentic Bank

Collateral Optimization Agent

⬡ Cheapest Allocates the cheapest-to-deliver eligible collateral across all obligations.
◆ Supervised Specialist

Solves the bank-wide allocation of which asset to post where: honours every CSA's eligibility and haircut schedule while keeping the most liquid collateral free for funding. Runs an LP solver in a sandbox each cycle; the allocation is re-checked against eligibility and concentration limits before any movement is staged.

Memory

Evals & guardrails

  • Every allocation validated against eligibility + concentration limits before staging.
  • Champion/challenger on the optimizer; funding-cost saving measured vs. naive allocation.
  • Large reallocations are re-derived by an oversight agent before settlement.

Frontier edge

  • World-model simulation: stress-tests each candidate allocation against tomorrow's likely calls and funding curves, beyond today's snapshot.
  • Agent-mesh negotiation: trades funding-cost inputs with the Treasury funding agent over A2A to price the true cheapest-to-deliver set.
  • Causal reasoning: attributes realised funding savings back to specific allocation choices, so the optimizer learns what moved the cost.

A sample run

Trigger Margin agent confirms $40M of net new collateral obligations for the day.
  1. 1Pull eligible inventory; map each obligation's eligibility + haircut schedule.
  2. 2Run the LP solver to minimise funding cost subject to all constraints.
  3. 3Validate the proposed allocation against concentration limits.
Output A cheapest-to-deliver allocation that frees ~$6M of high-quality liquid assets for funding, staged for settlement pending the oversight agent's re-derivation.
