    ∗ Portfolio Margining: Strategy vs Risk y z z E. G. Coffman, Jr. D. Matsypura V. G. Timkovsky June 8, 2009 Abstract Introduced in the late eighties for margining certain accounts of brokers, the risk- based approach to margining portfolios with equity derivatives has yielded substan­ tially lower margin requirements in comparison with the strategy-based approach that has been used for margining customer accounts for more than four decades. For this reason, after the approvals of the pilot program on July 14, 2005, and its extensions on December 12, 2006, and July 19, 2007, the final approval of using the risk-based approach to margining customer accounts by the SEC on July 29, 2008, at the time of the global financial crisis, appeared to be one of the most radical and puzzling steps in the history of margin regulations. This paper presents the results of a novel mathematical and experimental analysis of both approaches which sup­ port the thesis that the pilot program could have influenced or even triggered the equity market crash in October 2008. It also provides recommendations on ways to set appropriate margin requirements to help avoid such failures in the future. 1 Introduction “We still have a 1930s regulatory system in place. We’ve got to update our institutions, our regulatory frameworks, . ”. the banking system has been “dealt a heavy blow,” the result of “lax regulation, massive overleverage, huge systematic risks taken by unregulated institutions, as well as regulated institutions.” – Barack Obama1 In the margin accounts of investors, i.e., customers of brokers, margin payments are based on established minimum margin requirements which depend on a large number of factors, such as security type, market price, expiry date, rating and other character­ istics of securities held in the positions of the accounts.

Clearing Credit Default Swaps: A Case Study in Global Legal Convergence Anupam Chander* and Randall Costa** In the wake of the global financial crisis, American and European regulators quickly converged on a reform intended to help stave off similar crises in the future: central counterparty clearinghouses for credit default swaps. On both sides of the Atlantic, regulators identified credit default swaps (CDS) as a central factor in the crisis that seized Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, American International Group (AIG), and ultimately the world.'

  • RIS Margining and Risk Mitigation for Non-Centrally Cleared Derivatives
    Regulation Impact Statement Executive Summary Margining and risk mitigation for non-centrally cleared derivatives (OBPR ID: 2016/20420) 1. This Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) has been prepared by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) to inform APRA’s proposals on implementing the internationally agreed reforms for margining and risk mitigation for non-centrally cleared derivative transactions in the Australian financial system. The G20 committed to a series of regulations recommended by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) in order to reform risk management practices in the global over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market. 2. The key problem assessed by APRA is how to apply the requirements of the internationally agreed framework to the Australian market. APRA’s implementation has sought to capture the benefits of reduced risk while limiting costs where possible. APRA considers it appropriate to mitigate costs for small and less-sophisticated entities that could be unduly burdened by the requirements. Therefore, APRA has made reasonable adjustments to the international framework that maintain consistency while appropriately considering Australian-specific market conditions. 3. For implementation, APRA has considered two options for the margin requirements and a further two options for the risk mitigation standards. The option to maintain the status quo is not considered viable given the commitment of reforms by all the G20 governments, the high costs to Australian financial institutions of complying with the requirements of multiple foreign jurisdictions that would otherwise apply, as well as the risk to market fragmentation and reduced access to global markets in the absence of requirements.
