Why CHARM?
FCMs need to provide their Clients
with Certainty of Clearing.
You need to connect to CCPs,
Hubs or SEFs.
This exposes FCMs to the intraday risk that Margin held is not
sufficient.
You need to provide your clients
with Certainty of Clearing and
efficient use of their collateral.
Trading on SEFs means this risk
can change sub-second.
You need to monitor intra-day risk
of client activity in real-time.
FCMs need real-time monitoring
of limits to accept or reject trades.
You need to accept or reject, client
orders/trades as quickly as possible.
Clients expect their collateral to be
utilized efficiently by use of
portfolio margin limits.
You need to use true portfolio risk
measures to know the impact on
the client margin held.
House Clearing
You dont want hardware costs to
consume your entire budget.
Bid/Offers should be adjusted for
the cost of margin.
This requires calculating the
impact of an order on our existing
portfolio margin.
And doing this sub-second.
