The uncleared margin rules are the regulations requiring large users of derivatives that are not centrally cleared to exchange initial and variation margin bilaterally, with the initial margin held by a third party. A credit support annex (CSA) is the part of a bilateral derivatives agreement that governs the collateral: which assets, thresholds, minimum transfers, the rate paid on cash collateral, and the timing of calls.
Exemplos
Example 10.4 (A ten-year and a thirty-year swap)
With illustrative parameters, basis points a day, a five-day margin period and , initial margin is 36.4 basis points of DV01. On USD 100 million of a ten-year swap at 4%, the DV01 is USD 81 109, initial margin starts at USD 2.95 million and declines with the swap’s remaining life (Figure 10.3); funded at 50 basis points a year it costs USD 76 442 over the swap’s life: 0.94 basis points a year of running spread. For the thirty-year swap, 2.30 basis points.
