Helping firms comply with uncleared margin rules

IM Exposure Manager (IMEM) helps firms to comply with initial margin regulations. It helps to avoid and resolve disputes, increasing operational efficiency by providing standard calculation, reconciliation and straight through margin processes.

Join the many firms that already leverage IMEM to manage their IM exposure and be part of industry best practice.

Significant changes have come to the global OTC non-cleared derivative marketplace in the form of new rules for variation and initial margin which started in September 2016.

  • Initial margin required to be collected between parties on a gross basis and held in a segregated account
  • Margin calculations performed based on approved models (e.g. ISDA SIMM™ ) or pre-defined Schedule
  • Increased regulatory scrutiny, reporting requirements and penalties for disputes

IMEM is born out of an industry requirement, created to comply with regulations, avoid and resolve disputes, and increase operational efficiency by providing standard calculation, reconciliation and straight through margin processes.
