There are two basic models to trade OTC derivatives
BilateralOTC model
Centrally clearedOTC model
Description • Bilateral models are the traditional form of OTC transactions and take place between two parties
• Two parties enter a OTC transaction and bear the counterparty credit risk of each other
• During the life of the trade the parties exchange variation margins (VM) to account for market value changes
• In most instances initial margins (IM) to account for potential future exposure (PFE) have to be exchanged
• In a centrally cleared OTC transaction, a central counterparty (CCP) steps in between the two parties
• The initial arrangement between the two parties is replaced by two agreements on identical economic terms (“novation”), each with the CCP and one of the parties
• As a result the CCP administers the transactions, manages the collateral and also the counterparty credit risk
• Both parties have to post initial and variation margins to the CCP

• Eurex Clearing provides a multi-level security system
− First the collateral and the Clearing Fund contribution of the member in default are utilized.
− After the defaulter’s contributions are exhausted, an assigned dedicated amount of Eurex Clearing is applied, before non-defaulting clearing members’ Clearing Fund contributions, and remaining capital of Eurex Clearing are used.
• Each clearing member’s contribution to the Clearing Fund is based on a minimum contribution and a dynamic component, accounting for the individual clearing member’s risk situation.
• There is one segmented Clearing Fund for listed and OTC business.
• Following a realization of any Clearing Fund contributions of non-defaulted clearing members, such clearing members are asked to provide assessments to their contributions.
• Clearing members’ total liability is limited as they have to provide a maximum of two assessments per capped period. Remaining Capital

Key focus of stress testing is sizing the Default FundDefault Fund size is determined regularly based on a “cover 2” scenario
Default Fund contribution is the highest amount of:• 7% of average IM requirements (30 days), or• 7% of average IM requirements (250 days), or• GCM: EUR 5 m, DCM: EUR 1 m
8
• The Default Fund contribution of a Clearing Member is determined as a percentage of the Initial Margin requirement
• A quarterly recalibration of the Default Fund and a regular review of the adequacy of the Default Fund size and methodology take place
• Results are presented to senior management and the Risk Committee
• Sufficiency of the Default Fund to cover the 2 largest defaulting Clearing Members simultaneously with market stress is validated daily
• Both historical and hypothetical scenarios are used for Default Fund dimensioning
• If stress test results indicate that the Default Fund is not sufficient then:
– Global percentage can be recalibrated, or
– Member-specific actions can be taken

Default Management Process reflects best practice and complies with market requirements and regulatory guidelines
10
Overview of Default Management Process
•Preliminary Measures
• Convention of Default Management Committees to support Eurex Clearing throughout the whole DMP
• To protect client assets, positions and collateral are transferred wherever possible
• Portfolio and market evaluation in preparation of liquidation
• Handling positions that expire shortly
•Hedging
• Hedging of the defaulted clearing member’s portfolio is executed as early as possible, to limit losses immediately
• Hedged portfolio is likely to receive better prices in the auction
•Independent Sale
• If the portfolio is small or only few clearing members are active in the involved products then bilateral or on-exchange trades can ensure a timely liquidation
• Mutual clearing fund will not be utilised, unless all clearing members have the chance to provide a price in the auction
•Auction
• Participation in auctions is mandatory for those clearing members who are capable from an operational and risk perspective to process the respective portfolio
• Clients are allowed to bid via their clearing member
• Clearing fund juniorisation and penalty fee set incentives for competitive bidding
Holding period serves as basis for risk calculation within Eurex Clearing

Overview of major areas within CCP Risk Management
11
Counterparty Assessment
• Eurex Clearing has strict criteria for counterparties to guarantee that clearing members, payment banks, treasury counterparts have sufficient credit quality and financial strength
• Credit assessments are repeated on a regular basis
Margining
Stress Testing• Additional post-default backings are available to cover risks beyond the margin confidence level• The adequacy of the Clearing Fund size, Eurex Clearing’s total financial resources and liquid
financial resources is verified by means of stress tests
• Margin requirements are aimed to cover potential losses arising during the default management process according to the “defaulter pays” scheme
• Margin requirements are monitored and enforced intraday
Collateral and Member
Monitoring
Default Management
Process
• Eurex Clearing only accepts secure, liquid and accessible collateral with low credit risk• A comprehensive risk management framework has been established in order to identify,
manage and control credit, concentration and wrong way risks
• When a Clearing Member goes into default, one of Eurex Clearing’s principle objectives is to protect customers and minimize harm to clients and their positions
• Losses to the CCP’s lines of defense and the disruption of the wider market are minimized
Eurex Clearing’s Risk Management Framework
www.eurexclearing.com
Bloomberg & The Union of Arab Securities Authorities Rountable September, 2016
• Aligned default management process across a Clearing Member’s positions
• Positions deemed suitable for simultaneous liquidation arelogically assigned to the same Liquidation Group
• Risk offsets are only granted within the same Liquidation Group(e.g. Equity, Commodity or Fixed Income)
Consistency

Cost efficiencies may vary substantially across CCPs along 3 key drivers
13
An integrated cross-product CCP with a large eligible collateral spectrum entails the highest efficiency potential for customers
Netting efficiency
Default fund efficiency
Collateral efficiency

3
• Multilateral risk netting may be complemented by cross-product exposure netting (& cross-margining) between OTC, exchange-traded and cleared repo transactions
• Netting of positions in liquidation groups for initial margin and balance sheet netting of exposure at default under a single legal CCP construct
Higher netting efficiency lowers capital and funding requirements
Higher default fund efficiency lowers capital and funding requirements
Higher collateral efficiency lowers funding requirements
• Required default fund contributions depend on the risk characteristics of the CCP
• CCPs with significant existing exposures across products under a single netting agreement and strong segregation services tend to lead to lower default fund contribution and capital requirements
• CCPs with a large spectrum of eligible collateral, re-use of other assets (e.g. GC pooling) and central bank access mitigate funding issues for clients

Segregation and portability has become increasingly important because of client demand & regulation
EMIR article 39 requires CCPs and Clearing Members to offer at a minimum omnibus and individual segregation models.
After the Lehman and MF Global defaults, the demand for segregation increased as clients have faced issues around uncertainty of porting, double funding, mutualisation of client and CM risks from co-mingling of assets and potential misuse of client collateral.
Individual models are intended to secure the positions and the collateral assets at all times in the event of default of a Clearing Member or other clients of the clearing member.
Some local investment laws require asset managers to segregate assets at the fund level to prevent co-mingling of positions and assets between the clearing broker, other clients and funds of the same fund company.
Both buy-side and sell-side clients are requesting protection from additional risks including transit and liquidation risk.
ESMA finally provided clarity that individual client segregation requires that the actual assets of the client are segregated and available for porting. Models which merely segregate the value of collateral due to the accounts of clients, 'do not meet the requirement to offer individual client segregation’ (ESMA Q&A 5 August 2013).

* Securities collateral under omnibus segregation is held under pledge whilst ISA collateral is full title transfer to Eurex Clearing**The OSA by asset and OSA under CASS models are operationally identical. The only difference is the later affords clients CASS protection.
OSA by value is the default segregation model at Eurex
Clearing. Segregation is achieved through reporting on
the books and records of Eurex Clearing rather than on the CSD
level
When OSA by asset is chosen, a separate collateral pool is opened at Eurex Clearing and an account on
the CSD level. Specific securities and cash are designated to the collateral
pool for all OSA by asset clientsand/or OSA under CASS.
When OSA by asset is chosen, CMs have the option to open multiple omnibus collateral pools at Eurex Clearing. This enables CMs to group clients together. It is possible to have multiple
collateral pools protected under UK Client money rules (OSA under CASS) or not (OSA by
asset).

• No fellow customer risk• Highly likely porting• Actual assets protected• Allows full segregation at sub-fund
• 2 percent risk weight for trade and collateral exposures• Asset tagging (optional)• Direct transfer of collateral (optional)• Later cash withdrawals for EUR and CHF
• All actual assets provided to Eurex Clearing are protected against the default of another market participant
• This differs from value-based models where only a value equivalent is protected instead of the client‘s actual assets
• Should there be a default, clients can choose to port immediately to a Replacement Clearing Member or become an Interim Participant, directly facing Eurex Clearing until a Replacement Clearing Member is identified and accepts the port.
• Alternatively, clients can elect to closeout and directly receive their collateral back
