Effective November 26, 2010, the Executive Board of Eurex Clearing AG decided to allow the reuse of GC Pooling® collateral for Eurex Clearing margining. The new service will be offered to Eurex Clearing Members who are participating in GC Pooling® trading at Eurex Repo GmbH and using Clearstream Banking AG’s collateral management system Xemac® to fulfill the Eurex Clearing margin obligations. The service allows cash providers to allocate collateral to Eurex Clearing AG in the scope of the GC Pooling® ECB Basket that has been received from cash takers.
The reuse will be enabled by a new Xemac® Contract Conclusion “GC Pooling® for Eurex Margining” within the existing infrastructure of Eurex Clearing AG and Clearstream Banking AG. The collateral will be managed by Xemac® in accordance with the GC Pooling® business concept. Eurex Clearing AG will accept the GC Pooling®
ECB Basket (ISIN DE000A0AE077) as eligible security for Eurex Clearing margining purposes and apply a specific Basket ISIN Haircut. The Clearing Conditions for Eurex Clearing AG have been amended to reflect the new service offering.
Kindly forward this product announcement to all involved departments within your company.
