Date 24/08/2015

Executive Summary

CCPs set margin requirements and call margin on a wide range  of financial instruments to insure against the potential default  of members. Typically, margins are calculated and called  on a portfolio basis — i.e., they reflect the price risk across  the member’s portfolio of positions, rather than being set at  the level of individual positions without any reference to any  other positions in the member’s portfolio. Portfolio margining  encourages better risk management and more efficient  allocation of collateral to the greatest risks.
