LCH Limited self-certification: Clearing of Israeli Shekel overnight interest rate swaps that

reference the ILS-SHIR-OIS Compound floating rate option

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick,

Pursuant to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) Regulation §40.6(a), LCH Limited 

(“LCH”), a derivatives clearing organization registered with the CFTC, is submitting for selfcertification revisions to its rules (“LCH Rules”) related to extending clearing eligibility to overnight 

interest rate swaps (“OIS”) that (i) are denominated in Israeli Shekel (“ILS”), (ii) reference the ILSSHIR-OIS Compound index floating rate option, and (iii) have a maximum maturity of 11 years (“ILS 

OIS”).

Part I: Explanation and analysis

LCH currently clears interest rate swaps that (i) are denominated in ILS, (ii) reference the Tel Aviv 

interbank offer rate (“TELBOR”) floating rate option, and (iii) have a maximum maturity of 11 years

(“ILS IRS”). 

LCH now proposes to clear ILS OIS in addition to ILS IRS. The ILS-SHIR-OIS Compound floating 

rate option referenced in each ILS OIS is the Shekel overnight interest rate ("SHIR"). This new product 

offering will help facilitate market growth and transition to SHIR, which will, in time, replace TELBOR 

for interest rate derivative transactions.

To facilitate these changes, the Product Specific Contract Terms and Eligibility Criteria Manual and 

FCM Product Specific Contract Terms and Eligibility Criteria Manual (jointly, the “Product Terms”)

within the LCH Rules will be amended. 

Part II: Description of the rule changes

LCH will amend Section 1.2(a) of Part B of Schedule 2 of the Product Specific Contract Terms and 

Eligibility Criteria Manual and Section 1.1(a) of Part B of Schedule 1 of the FCM Product Specific 

Contract Terms and Eligibility Criteria Manual to include ILS OIS.

The changes to the LCH Rules are included as Appendices I - II in black line form. The changes will 

be effective not earlier than October 23, 2023.
CORPORATE

Part III: Core Principle Compliance

LCH has reviewed the proposed rule changes against the requirements of the Core Principles and 

finds it will continue to comply with all requirements and standards set forth therein. Specifically, this 

rule change has potential relevance to Core Principles C (Participant and Product Eligibility), D (Risk 

Management) and L (Public Information).

The changes described in this filing meet the objectives of Core Principle C, including that LCH has

appropriate requirements for determining the eligibility of submitted transactions, taking into account 

LCH’s ability to manage the associated risks. In determining whether to offer ILS OIS clearing, LCH 

considered factors that included trading volume, liquidity, availability of pricing data and the ability for 

LCH to manage any associated risks within LCH’s existing operational, risk management and default 

management tools. LCH carefully considered these factors and determined that the tenor extensions 

meet LCH’s qualifications and the requirements of Core Principle C. 

LCH believes the changes described in this filing will not impact LCH’s ongoing compliance with the 

objectives of Core Principle D. ILS OIS clearing will not require changes to LCH’s risk management 

framework, margin methodology or margin requirements. LCH will clear this product in accordance

with its current operational, risk management and default management tools. LCH considered its risk 

management requirements and believes clearing ILS OIS will not impact LCH’s ongoing compliance 

with Core Principle D. 

The changes described in this filing also ensure that LCH meets the objectives of Core Principle L, 

including that, in addition to the specified requirements of CFTC Regulation §39.21, LCH makes

available any information that is relevant to participation in the clearing and settlement activities of 

LCH, including the terms and conditions of each contract. LCH considered its public information 

requirements and believes amending the Product Terms within LCH Rules to include ILS OIS meets 

the requirements of Core Principle L. 

As such, LCH believes these changes are consistent with the requirements of Core Principle C on 

Participant and Product Eligibility under CFTC Regulation §39.12, Core Principle D on Risk 

Management under CFTC Regulation §39.13 and Core Principle L on Public Information under CFTC 

Regulation §39.21.

Part IV: Public Information

LCH has posted a notice of pending certification with the CFTC and a copy of the submission on 

LCH’s website at: https://www.lch.com/resources/rulebooks/proposed-rule-changes.

Part V: Opposing Views

There were no opposing views expressed to LCH by governing board or committee members, 

members of LCH or market participants that were not incorporated into this proposal.

Certification

LCH hereby certifies to the CFTC, pursuant to the procedures set forth in CFTC Regulation §40.6, 

that the attached submission complies with the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the 

regulations promulgated thereunder.
