Presentation (in Russian)

From 31.07.2023 in clearing reports (CCX44, CCX84, EQM44, EQM45, EQM84, EQM92, EQM93, EQM94) and on pages of site with asset parameters the value of Collateral acceptance limit (CollateralAcceptLimit) is reflected without feature Accepted as Collateral (InSingleLim). The procedure of Collateral value reflection (Value) in reports on collateral (EQM84, CCX84) is not changed.
We remind you that Collateral value depends on the amount of asset recorded under the Settlement Account and risk parameters and reflected differently when recording under Unified Pool Settlement Accounts and ordinary Settlement Accounts (not Unified Pool Settlement Accounts).

Under ordinary Settlement Accounts:

  • If asset is accepted as collateral (InSingleLim = "Y"), then Collateral amount depends on the Collateral acceptance limit, as well as on Lower Bound of market risk (RTL_Rub) (taking into account concentration ranges (NoLim)).
  • If asset is not accepted as collateral (InSingleLim = "N"), then Collateral amount is equal to 0.

Under Unified Pool Settlement Accounts:

  • If asset is included into asset pool, then its Collateral value does not depend on acceptance as collateral, but depends on risk parameters (Collateral acceptance limit, Lower Bound of market risk).
  • If asset was excluded from list of assets included into asset pool, then Collateral value of such asset becomes equal to 0.

Where are risk parameters values published?

  • Values of parameters Accepted as Collateral, Collateral acceptance limit, accepted to Default fund and unified pools for each asset are published at section Clearing:
    Securities parameters;
    Foreign currency and precious metals parameters.
  • Parameters values of bounds of market risk are published at section Risk management / Risk parameters (by markets and assets):
    For securities;
    For foreign currencies and precious metals.
  • In reports on risk parameters (EQM44 – for securities market, CCX44 – for FX market) information on Acceptance as Collateral, Collateral acceptance limit, Bounds of market risk.
