The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) is still keeping conference delegates up at night.
The majority of attendees (46 percent) picked out EMIR from a list of regulations as the one that most concerns them.
This figure was down slightly from the 55 percent that voted for EMIR from the same list at last year's Collateral Management Forum.
Of the remaining vote allocation, the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) stood out as concern around its requirements shot up 10 percent year on year from 4 percent to 14 percent.
Speaking after the audience poll, one audience member theorised that this spike was due to the industry's understanding of the gravity of MiFID's requirements improving as its implementation deadlines approached.
