Different regulatory bodies have come out with final rules setting forth requirements for the posting and collecting of margin between certain counterparties to certain OTC swaps. In the U.S., the CFTC and the Prudential Regulators have finalized their respective OTC margin rules and in Europe the European Supervisory Authorities have finalized their OTC margin rule. Compliance with all of those rules for the first category of participants will occur in September 2016. This webinar will provide an overview of the OTC margin rules from the perspective of the U.S. and the E.U. and will also discuss practical implications, such as redocumenting collateral arrangements and using compliant methods to calculate margin requirements.
