    • CME currently administers three different guaranty funds for IRS, CDS, and “Base” products. In conjunction with the new CFTC Regulation 39.33, CME plans to amend the types of collateral eligible to meet guaranty fund requirements in an effort to align composition with the CFTC’s definition of qualifying liquidity resources.
       
      Pending regulatory review, effective April 1, 2014, the following asset types will be acceptable collateral for any CME Clearing guaranty fund. 
       
      Acceptable Guaranty Fund Collateral
      • USD cash
