Before the Lehman Default - Omnibus Segregated Account (OSA)

• Fellow customer risk• Porting available. Any excess collateral

will be returned for the benefit of clients.

• 4 percent risk weight for trade and collateral exposures, in Eurex Clearing‘s view

• Leverages historical operational Clearing Member process

• Positions of disclosed clients and positions of undisclosed clients are segregated and covered by a single collateral pool.

• OSA by Value - One collateral pool (cash and securities) with pro rata allocation by value (as a percentage)

• OSA by Asset - Allocation of securities collateral by Clearing Member to CBF, SIX SIS Ltd., CBL accounts Allocation of cash collateral by Clearing Member through pool ID

Segregation under EMIR for Mandatory OTC Clearing

Deutsche Börse Group 5

Segregation and Portability has become increasingly important under EMIR for Mandatory OTC Clearing

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).

The Individual Segregated Account (ISA)

• 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

Protection of assets and portability ensures

• No replacement risk

• No liquidity risk

• No liquidation risk in case of a Clearing Member default

Deutsche Börse Group 7The Multiple Omnibus Segregated Account (MOSA) - provides the possibility to segregate ‘group accounts’ in a single separate collateral account

• Limited and accepted fellow customer risk• Likely porting• Actual assets can be protected with Clearing Member agreement• Optional U.K. CASS protection available

• 4 percent risk weight for trade and collateral exposures, in Eurex Clearing‘s view

• Increased collateral efficiency by pooling in a single account

• Allows a Clearing Member and clients to decide which clients are allocated to which collateral pool

• This enables the clients to determine their acceptable fellow customer risk

• Both disclosed and undisclosed client accounts are available

* 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).

Full physical segregation of positions and

collateral per client.

Concentration of risk in the US OTC Derivatives Clearing Business 1 Challenges

TOP 5~70%

TOP 10 ~95%

1 Source: http://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/FinancialDataforFCMs/index.htm - *as of 30.09.2015

• Concentration is increasing. US market structure is likely to arise in Europe as well

• Limited balance sheet capacity of many clearing brokers and poor economics for client clearing

• Porting of clients in crisis massively at risk given constraints of clearing brokers to pick up clients

Significant negative implications including domino effects can be expected in a crisis, as long as neither the capital rules nor the market structure changes

The solutionISA Direct delivers a framework that isoperationally similar to a traditionalsegregated client clearing relationshipunder a different legal relationship.

1. Client becomes principal to the CCPand directly clears trades

2. Clearing Agent facilitates operationalservices*, and specific defaultobligations

3. ISA Direct clients have to meetadmission criteria equivalent toregular Clearing Members

In addition to improving market safety andintegrity, this results in a number of keybenefits to both parties:

Benefits for Clearing Agent• Capital costs substantially reduced (LR, RWA)• Allows maintenance of client relationship and delivery of

a range of clearing services• Increased default fund contributions for ISA Direct

Member and Eurex Clearing’s dedicated amount create layers of protection before loss mutualisation

Benefits for ISA Direct Client• No default fund contribution • Assets are segregated, securities under pledge• Collateral eligibility >17,000 ISINs• Porting issues removed, appointment of new Clearing

Agent in default scenario• Relieves concentration of CMs offering client clearing

Giving Significant Benefits to both the Buy Side & Sell Side

*operational services can be performed by the Agent or the ISA Direct client

Example of an Integrated Collateral Management Solution using ISA Direct Repo / Select Finance & Re Use GC Pooling Collateral Facility

The Challenge• Cash variation margin for pension funds and

similar long term liability driven portfolios inOTC Clearing is challenging

• New capital rules impede the Buy Side’saccess to liquidity

• The ability to transform the fund’s range ofhigh quality assets is required

The Solution• ISA Direct Repo / Select Finance facilitates

access to the Repo platform for the buy sidevia a ‘request for quote’ process.

• Pension funds can reuse the cash receivedunder the repo to facilitate VM for theirliability driven strategies.

• Clearing Member A can re use the GCpooling collateral received to meet initialmargin requirements for listed and OTCderivative products further increasing theefficiency of collateral.

Benefits• Increased access to liquidity• Directly connect market participants with existing infrastructure• Targeted and rapid delivery of liquidity in times of stress provided by

central banks and government agencies
