LCH.Clearnet Ltd will be introducing Liquidity charge in addition to current initial margin calculations for Nodal Exchange contracts during Q1 2014. Initial Margin measures the price risk of a portfolio within the holding period, but does not capture the cost of liquidity arising from hedging and/or selling a portfolio within the holding period in the event of a member default. The charge is therefore designed to cover the costs associated with portfolio liquidation.
Members can find further information, including comprehensive details on how the liquidity add-on will be calculated, on the secure area of the LCH.Clearnet website.
