What you need to know about the clearing funds

How is it used

Used after the defaulting participant's margin has been exhausted. An extraordinary revaluation of funds is possible in case of increased volatility or risk concentration

How are they calculated

Calculation is performed annually with analysis of historical and hypothetical stress scenarios. The ability of funds to cover the two largest uncovered losses (Cover-2) is assessed. Statistical methods are used: standard deviation, EWMA, etc.

When are they replenished

If the clearing funds are insufficient (based on the assessment results), the participants and/or the central counterparty itself make additional contributions. The amounts of new contributions are determined by formulas reflecting the risk profile of a clearing participant
