In particular Euronext Clearing’s financial safeguarding system is based on the following 3 levels of protection: 1. Membership requirements Clearing Members must meet minimum Supervisory Capital requirements in accordance with their role (ICM or GCM) and the segment they want to . Each Member must have an organisational structure and IT systems that guarantee the ordered, continuous, and efficient management of the activities and relations foreseen by Euronext Clearing Rules. 2. Margin system Members must deposit sufficient guarantees to cover the theoretical costs of liquidation, which Euronext Clearing would incur in the event of a Member’s Default, in order to close the open positions in the worst reasonably possible market scenario. All Clearing Members are therefore required to pay margins on all open positions. Margins are calculated using the MARS methodology (Margining System) for the IDEM and Share BIt markets, and MVP (Method for Portfolio Valuation) for the MTS and BrokerTec markets. These are efficient, reliable and accurate systems for calculating margins. MARS is capable of recognizing the overall risk in a portfolio and allows for the offsetting of risk between closely correlated products, as well as allowing for cross-margining between derivatives and equity cash products in the portfolio. Euronext Clearing has also introduced additional protection, which functions alongside the margins system, consisting of the Default Fund to cover that portion of the risk, generated by extreme variations in market conditions, that is not guaranteed by the margin system. 3. Default procedure The procedure envisages the allocation of the losses and costs sustained by Euronext Clearing following the default of a Clearing Member according the below hierarchy (i.e. "default waterfall") set out in Euronext Clearing’s Rulebook Article B.6.2.3): Contact Form Enquiry type - Select - Sales & Relationship Management Operations Risk Management Membership Technology & Connectivity Regulatory Reporting Finance enxgdpr_fs I accept to be contacted by Euronext group at the email address entered for marketing purposes Updates on Products and Services Promotional and commercial offers Surveys Events Privacy Statement.
