CME CORE Margin Tool is a web-based tool to calculate initial margins for IRS and CDS portfolios What if analysis shows how margins will change as positions are added or removed from any given portfolio
CME Margin Optimizer Enhancement The CME CORE tool will soon be enhanced to calculate Optimization of IRS Portfolio Margining Clients can upload a portfolio of IRS and Futures, and CORE will generate a report with the ideal allocation of Eurodollar and Treasury Futures to move into the OTC Customer Cleared Swaps account to minimize the portfolio risk, and therefore, reduce margins

In an FCM default, CME Clearing will discontinue netting variation gains and losses within the defaulted FCMs cleared swaps customer account with CME Clearing on a post-default basis By discontinuing Variation Margin netting, CME will better protect non-defaulting customers by helping them keep their positions intact while porting them to another FCM with as much collateral as possible
LSOC Phase 2 (LSOC with Excess) will launch on Monday, April 22 CME will accept excess customer funds from an FCM. The FCM must submit a daily Collateral
Value Report (CVR) to specify the value of each individual
The CVR given to CME Clearing identifies for each customer the amount of collateral protected
from being used to meet the obligation of another customer
Proposed account structure aims to let end-customers meet their margin obligations at FCMs via
third-party custodial accounts
Allows end-customers to utilize custodial account arrangements and use assets held in those
accounts to meet margin obligations
CME, an FCM, an end-customer, and a custodian bank will execute a quad-party custody
arrangement to facilitate the CME Safekeeping account transactions

UNFUNDED
SURVIVOR PAYS
Additional collateral that can be called upon should all previous layers of the waterfall are exhausted Caps the limited resource waterfall Expected to cover extreme scenarios that are optimally addressed using a mutualized pool rather than margins GF Sizing considerations include risk, capital usage and charges , stakeholders incentives, and portability concerns during periods of default
Contribution set aside by CME to help cure a default prior to dipping into the survivors funds
Defaulting Member IRS Guaranty Fund Liquidity Charge Baseline Initial Margin
Liquidity charge accounts for protecting large concentrated portfolios whose closeout could cost more or take longer than baseline timeframe Initial Margin is used to cover day-to-day P/L moves
The actual amounts will be based on the sum of the third and fourth largest net debtor profiles

CUSTOMER CONTROLLED PORTABILITY TRANSFERS Establishing and managing accounts at multiple clearing members Clients maintaining accounts at multiple clearing members are able to control the timing and pacing of their porting transactions In the agency model, clients own their positions The agency model supports portability; at CME this is a matter of routine and standard practice
PROVEN SUCCESS IN CUSTOMER PORTABILITY Wholesale porting from stressed to solvent clearing members In September 2008, CME seamlessly ported all $2.2 billion of customer funds and 2.5 million customer positions from Lehman Brothers to a solvent clearing member In wholesale porting transactions, CME balances the need to assure client safety with recalibration of financial safeguards to minimize stress in the financial system
Portability is essential to customer protection, both in times of market stress and during the normal course of business Portability is underpinned by CME Rule 853, governing transfers of trades

Margin Efficiencies
CME Group offers unparalleled capital efficiencies in a capital constrained world Initial Margin Example for Swap Spread Positions
Below is an example of the initial margins for swap spread trades under three different margining scenarios Each scenario has a short position of 1000 CBOT Treasury Futures and a DV01 equivalent receive fixed swap (or
long Deliverable Swap Futures) position Separate Margining at a Competing Clearinghouse Treasury Futures Leg Margin $1,100,000 Swap Leg Margin $3,299,395 CME Group IRS Portfolio Margining Cleared IRS and Treasury Futures margined together CME Group Deliverable Swap Futures Deliverable Swap Futures and Treasury Futures with Spread Credits
CME Groups IRS Portfolio Margining and Deliverable Swap Futures enable clients to achieve 57%-73% margin savings on swap spreads, compared to clearing the Interest Rate Swap at a competing clearinghouse
17
Margin is currently the 99.7th % of portfolio changes (loss) across all scenarios
Application
Apply HVaR methodology to Eurodollar and Treasury futures prices Create a rolling time series of returns (prices)
CME uses Treasury Future prices and Eurodollar prices (themselves) as an underlying risk factor, as it accounts for risks including: Reasoning
Switch of the Cheapest-to-Deliver (CTD) (applies Treasury Futures) Delivery timing (applies to Treasury Futures) Changes in the convexity adjustment (applies to Eurodollars) Covers extremely well-hedged portfolios (applies to Eurodollars)
18
Maximum savings is up to 89%, based on back testing of portfolios from 2006 to 2011.
* Savings = [Gross Margin Net Margin] / Gross Margin, where Gross Margin is the outright swap HVaR margin plus the futures SPAN margin (no offset benefit) and Net Margin is margining both swaps and futures in HVaR (with offset benefit).
** Values are rounded to nearest hundred thousand or ten thousand Dollars. These values do not include transaction costs and are subject to change, depending on market volatility.

Disclaimer
Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contracts value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a futures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade. All references to options refer to options on futures.
