| Summary | Annotation The Global Financial Crisis from 2007 onwards illustrated the inherent weaknesses in the global financial system and some of their causes. In particular over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives were blamed by many for partially causing and catalysing the crisis. Not surprisingly, this has led to dramatic action from politicians, policymakers and regulators in relation to OTC derivative markets. Two of the most important changes are the mandatory clearing of standardised OTC derivatives and the requirements for posting initial margin against non-standard OTC derivatives.This book explains the central clearing of OTC derivatives and the associated requirements for initial margins. It provides a historical perspective of central clearing as it developed with derivative exchanges in order to mitigate counterparty credit risk. The regulatory requirements (Dodd-Frank, EMIR, Basel III) being imposed since the global financial crisis are defined and discussed. The mechanics of central clearing are described including operational aspects, initial margin and default fund calculations, loss waterfalls and allocation methods. Client clearing is discussed, in particular giving detail on margin segregation and portability methods. An assessment is made throughout of the advantages and disadvantages of clearing and margining requirements, including potential issues such as funding liquidity risk, operational risk and wrong-way risk. This book is unique and covers the regulatory requirements together with the practical implementation details and the potential impacts and consequences. It is an invaluable complete reference guide for any market practitioner, policy maker, academic or student with any responsibility or interest in the area of OTC derivatives. |
