Capital Efficiencies: Portfolio Margining, Coupon Blending and Compression

CME Group delivers unparalleled capital efficiencies to our customers through portfolio margining of cleared interest rate swaps, swaptions and futures, and also via notional reduction through coupon blending and multilateral compression.

Portfolio Margining

  • Portfolio margining with CME Group enables all 24 OTC IRS currencies to be margined versus swaptions, Eurodollars, MAC Swap Futures, Treasuries and Fed Funds.
  • CME Group portfolio margining is supported by 15 live clearing members and used by 11 house accounts, whilst 704 customer accounts are benefiting from the solution.
  • Total risk reductions now account for over $2.4 billion in initial margin savings.

Compression Services

As market participants evolve and respond to the new capital regime, CME Group's innovative compression offerings continue to develop and to provide efficiencies for the OTC interest rate swap market:

Coupon Blending

  • CME Group launched coupon blending in June 2014 and it is available for both members and non-members.
  • 26.8 trillion gross notional and 355k line items have been compressed since inception.

Multilateral Compression

  • We have completed 35 compression runs across USD, EUR, MXN, GBP, JPY and BRL reducing gross notional by over $22.6 trillion USDE and removing over 727k line items. Includes non-member compression.
