Taking a Deep Dive into Margins for Cleared Derivatives
Abstract: Central counterparties (CCPs) are institutions that become the buyer to every seller and seller to every buyer in cleared markets. By design, CCPs have a matched book of positions. As a result, their liabilities to clearing members with winning positions are exactly matched by incoming payments from those on the losing side of positions.
Keywords: derivatives; clearinghouses; Central counterparties (CCPs);
