Segregation Models Support
The main reason for segregation is the separation of Collaterals in case of a Clearing Member default. Eurex Clearing offers a variety of Segregation Models to address the needs of different client types.
There are three types of accounts:
- Net Omnibus Segregated Account (NOSA)
- Gross Omnibus Segregated Account (GOSA)
- Individual Segregated Account (ISA)
The main criteria to decide on the required level of segregation are:
- fellow customer risk sharing or not
- separate Collateral Pool desired or not
- Margin efficiencies net or gross
Clients should contact their Key Account Managers or client.services@eurex.com and clarify, which Segregation Models fits best to their needs. For more details please refer to: Client Asset Protection.
FAQ
- Net Omnibus Segregated Accounts have the highest Margin efficiency stemming from the fact that positions of several clients are commingled and netted within one account.
- However, this Segregation Model also incurs the highest fellow customer risk.
- Individually Segregated Accounts have no fellow customer risk as both the positions and the assets of the client are separated from both Clearing Member's assets and of his other clients.
- Gross Omnibus Segregated Accounts offer only a limited protection from fellow customer risk as the Collateral Pool is shared with other clients.
- Client Asset Protection (CAP) under EMIR service of Eurex offers the possibility for clients to port to a Replacement Clearing Member and continue clearing activities even after their Clearing Member defaults.
- Service is available for both:
- Omnibus Segregation
- Individual Segregation

- Porting to a Replacement ‘Futures Commission Merchant’ (FCM) Clearing Member is also possible for 'Legally Segregated, Operationally Commingled' (LSOC) US-Clients.

- The Fund Manager (Authorized Manager) solution allows a fund specific position account set-up in an operationally efficient manner and is available for all Segregation Models of Eurex.
- In general, all position accounts are set-up to separate each relevant fund which is disclosed to the Central Counterparty (CCP).
- The Clearing Member can optionally select for its Fund Manager a set-up of multiple transaction accounts in a single risk netting unit.
- For more information please contact your Key Account Manager or client.services@eurex.com.
- ISA Direct Model combines elements of a direct clearing membership and the traditional service relationship in client clearing - tailored specifically for the buy side.
- It opens up a new principal client relationship between buy side clients and the CCP, with the regular Clearing Member acting as a ‘Clearing Agent’, providing a variety of mandatory and optional service functions.
