Initial Margin Reporting using CDM – Marc Gratacos, TradeHeader

Presented at Open Source In Finance Forum 2023 – NYCPresented by Marc Gratacos – TradeHeaderTitle: Initial Margin Reporting using CDMAbstract: Initial Margin Reporting using CDM The International Swaps Derivatives Association, Inc. created the Standard Initial Margin Methodology (SIMM) to harmonize the calculation of guarantees and help market participants to comply with regulations. Specifically, to comply with the BCBS-IOSCO (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the International Organization of Securities Commissions) margin framework for non-cleared derivatives. ISDA developed the Common Risk Interchange Format (CRIF), and together with the Common Domain Model (CDM), create a powerful solution to standardize and automate the exchange of risk data. The CRIF is the standard template to hold and report risk data, it enables the exchange of risk data between firms and facilitates the initial margin reconciliations. The SIMM methodology applies sensitivity-based calculations across four product groups: Interest rates and FX, Credit, Equity and Commodities. Applying the CDM will help to automate the creation of CRIF files and ensure their validity, as well as enable automation of risk data reporting to regulators. The presentation will show how CDM can be used to standardize the generation of CRIF files.Slides can be found here: https://osff2023.sched.com/event/1PzGF/initial-margin-reporting-using-cdm-marc-gratacos-tradeheaderFind more info about FINOS:On the web: https://www.finos.org/Twitter: https://twitter.com/finosfoundationLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/finosfoundation/OSFF NYC: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-finance-forum-new-york/
