Staying Mindful About Uncleared Margin Rules

After a delay afforded by the COVID-19 pandemic, Uncleared Margin Rule (UMR) regulation will continue to take effect in 2021 and 2022, in what is known as Phase 5 and 6. Firms in these final two phases number over 1,000 according to ISDA estimates, with many under-prepared for complying with this regulation.

This webinar will focus on criteria that firms need to be mindful of to determine their regulatory compliance status, and Bloomberg solutions to analyze initial margin requirements on uncleared derivatives on a portfolio level by counterparty. Live Q&A to follow presentation. 

After this webinar you will learn:
  • Criteria for inclusion in Phase 5 or 6 of UMR regulation
  • SIMM versus Grid: pros and cons of initial margin calculation methods
  • Approaches for minimizing Initial Margin requirements
  • Bloomberg SIMM solution for initial margin optimization
