With the production launch of C7 the calculation of risk for positions on Flexible Accounts will use the Risk Based Margining method. As of 15 September 2014, the portfolio based risk management method Eurex Clearing Prisma will be available on Flexible Accounts for specific product groups. Beyond that date, i.e. starting 29 September 2014, Cross Margining will be supported on Flexible Accounts between Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) on EurexOTC Clear and listed Fixed Income products (FI) as well as Money Market products.
