Webinar 2: Understanding Initial Margin from a Risk perspective
Initial Margin Webinar Series
Wednesday, October 24, 15:00 GMT / 10:00am EST / 7:00am PST
People involved in the calculation and use of your IM numbers need to understand the options available. For many reasons, ISDA SIMM has been widely adopted along with a standard approach to resolving IM disputes. Learn about the critical need to have your own IM calculation implementation approved before becoming compliant. Risk managers, middle-office staff, collateral management team members and anyone involved in IM calculations should participate in this webinar.
In our second webinar on Initial Margin, we will discuss:
- Calculation: Ways of calculating IM, an overview of ISDA SIMM and an overview of Common Risk Interchange Format (CRIF)
- Regulation: Approval process for implementing your IM model
- IM Operations: Calling for and settling assets to cover IM, setting up specific custody arrangements and how to handle disputes using industry tools
Panellists:
- Hiroshi Tanase, Executive Director at IHS Markit
- Liam Huxley, Founder and CEO at Cassini Systems
- Chetan Joshi, Business Programme Manager, Margin Reform at Standard Chartered Bank
Moderated by Armando Hernandez, Director of Collateral Management at CloudMargin
