Risk Management

 

Commodity Unlimited Clearing employs stringent risk management standards and a robust financial safeguards package to secure the safety and soundness of our markets and to support the stability of the broader financial system.

Two primary tenets of this approach are credit and market risk management. While requirements for clearing membership are rigorous, it is critical to monitor all direct counterparties on an ongoing basis. Our credit risk management team conducts routine reviews of all counterparties to ensure they maintain appropriate financial wherewithal and do not pose any undue risks to other market participants or to Commodity Unlimited Clearing.

 

While these assessments provide an in-depth view of the health of each counterparty, we recognize that new risks can arise quickly, and the market expects Commodity Unlimited Clearing to manage them swiftly and with certainty. To ensure these expectations are met, our market risk management team monitors clearing member and customer activity 24 hours a day, six days a week. By measuring profits and losses, examining portfolio shifts and monitoring for extreme market aberrations using real time observations, Commodity Unlimited Clearing can better position itself to protect the integrity of its markets.

Margin

Another integral part of the risk management function is margin. Each day, and twice daily for futures and options, Commodity Unlimited Clearing marks all positions to market and calls clearing members for both settlement variation and initial margin via its regular settlement cycle.

 

• Settlement variation

• Settlement variation represents any profits or losses on a portfolio between settlement cycles and prevents the accumulation of losses in the system.

 

• Initial margin

• Initial margin is a good-faith deposit that allows Commodity Unlimited Clearing to meet settlement obligations on a portfolio in the event of a clearing member’s default. Initial margin rates are determined on a per-product basis and are available for public view.

 

Financial safeguards and the default waterfall

These preventative measures are critical to fostering trust in the marketplace, but extreme, unanticipated market events can, and have, occurred.

 

When such situations arise, Commodity Unlimited Clearing relies on its financial safeguards package, also called the default waterfall, which consists of a Commodity Unlimited Clearing contribution, the guaranty fund and assessments. Commodity Unlimited Clearing supports the defaulter pays model and takes the first loss via its own contributions to the default waterfall, prior to using any resources of non-defaulting clearing members.

 

The robustness of our default management process greatly limits the likelihood that losses will be mutualized, but in the unlikely event neither of the aforementioned layers are sufficient, the guaranty fund is used. The guaranty fund for each clearing service is sized to meet financial obligations arising from the default of the two largest clearing members and their affiliates, known as the Cover 2 standard.
