The disclosed embodiments utilize hedge ratios to determine the optimal hedge ratio and associated scanning spread. This tells traders what ratios of the quantities of products they should have in their portfolio in order to maintain the status of the portfolios as delta neutral, i.e. be delta hedged, and receive optimal margin credits therefore.

摘要:
A system and method for analyzing, administering and managing risk for portfolio including at least one product having substantially asymmetric risk exposures is disclosed. The system and method includes determining a first margin for a first position associated with a financial product, wherein the financial product represents an event having disparate risk positions, and determining a second margin for a second position associated with the financial product, wherein the second margin is related to the first margin as an exponential function. The system and method further include calculating a cash flow according to the first margin for the first position and the second margin for the second position.

A graphic user interface is disclosed that combines a traditional trading, bookkeeping system or clearing system window with a detailed margin and/or collateral asset calculation analysis window on a single screen. The disclosed GUI provides the flexibility to analyze any combination of products or instrument classes such as single stock futures, futures (of all types), options (of all types), forward contracts, security options, securities and cash-based assets. Conventional systems merely block entry of orders beyond a predetermined credit limit or display clearing/bookkeeping information on all types of portfolio or accounts. The disclosed GUI, in an automated real-time or manual execution control basis, provide the user useful information (all types of numerical and/or graphical display) concerning which products contribute to and how much each product position contribute to the margin limits on, for example, multiple levels; all types of product level, product period (duration) level, account level and clearing level, etc. In one embodiment, the margin window may include a “what if” Scenario Panel and an “Actuals” Margin Analysis Panel. This Scenario Panel allows the user to experiment with “what-if” scenarios in real time or on an as-needed basis. This allows the user to better assess the changes an “actual” position(s) or “what-if” position(s) may have on the margin requirements on all account level types. Further, the actual panel displays the account's actual positions and the associated contributions each position has to that account's margin requirements.
摘要:
A system and method for analyzing correlation between the assets given by the trader for collateral and that trader's open positions is disclosed. Thus, if the collateral is correlated to the trader's open positions, then some offset can be given. If there is no correlation than the collateral is valued in the conventional way. For example, if a trader provides t-bills as collateral for an account that has open positions (e.g. short futures) in T-bills, than that trader's account can be credited with some offset since the value of T-bills and T-bill futures are highly correlated.

A system and method is disclosed for determining performance bonds for fixed payoff products, i.e. contracts which payoff a fixed amount based on the outcome of an underlying event regardless of the value thereof. The worst outcome of the overall portfolio, which may contain more multiple instruments, is calculated, allowing the portfolio to have both long and short positions on the same underlying event and offsets among instruments within the portfolio. A universe of outcomes is constructed including single events with single outcomes, and the probability thereof, and single events with multiple outcomes, each with a probability thereof. Each outcome has an associated price and probability. Low probability events will have low values, resulting in a lower margin requirement. The margin requirement is then the amount of the maximum loss that the portfolio can sustain for any possible outcome of the underlying event, adjusted for the probability thereof.
