Good point.
With Paul we have both WM and GM Accounts and an ISDA so in theory we can
use both channels,
i.e. KCP acting as ICG/ACO team, and KCP acting as Sales in WM accounts
going through GPS.
Now, 2 issues
1) If we go the GM route we pay 50% of the money to GM, and if we go the WM
route we keep 100% of the MU, not an issue for a 10k deal, but this is
something we need to think as we grow our KCP Capital Markets business.
2) Not with every client we have both WM and GM capabilities, so we need our
WM set up to get up to speed and effectively teach GPS how to do
institutional like business (their understanding of basic CVA/FVA issues is
very limited for example and thus their slow pricing). Now we can always re-
write the policies to make sure KCP Capital Markets can go directly into GM
without GPS (we already discussed with a lot of control functions), but I
think we still need to convince a couple of people for this, and not sure
it's smart to basically "split in two" WM trading capabilities as for
example the CFTC remediation project is only one and splitting it in two, or
having to collate 2 set of client lists, will raise some control functions
eyebrows.
Therefore the more I experience the system the more I grow into the believe
that KCP needs to totally take over from a WM Capital Markets perspective as
I already discussed with Dan several times, at least for OTC Derivs, but
then some non-KCP eligible clients (WM Americas has 316 OTC clients into
GM systems) might get caught in the system.
It's all very technical, but we need to urgently review with Dan and you and
put a plan, as these 316 WM OTC clients effectively go now through a full GM
onboarding process (not KYC, that is done in WM) as the WM umbrellas we used
to use for WM onboardings are being phased out due to CFTC regulations. So

if we do not want to go through more painful "Susan Moffat" exercises, we
simply need to take over.

Why did this need to go through gps desk? No gm documentation?

We have traded a USD Rates curve cap with Paul, I have not confirmed this
but I think this is the first exotic rates options ever done with a WM
Americas account.
Only 5-10k PNL but we are doing first of the kind for WM Americas.
The pitch was great from Martin with help from Ruchir Jolly in ICG HF sales,
the execution with the GPS desk in NY was less than optimal as we took 1.5
hours tom get a live price, and I had to intervene with GM to get it done,
but Nick/Mike were trying to help, just the process and the execution
capabilities as we all know need to improve if we are to take care of
Institutional like clients.
Important point, we can idea generate, and we can somehow execute even
though we need to all improve.
Martin drafting a good email with rationale etc that we can distribute to
management both WM and GM.
Thanks
