Impact of Margin Rules for OTC Derivatives on Fund Risk Management

ANREV is pleased to invite you to a lunch briefing in Singapore on 19 April 2016. Mr Matt Hoffman and Mr Joseph Kus of Chatham Financial will share with us the latest details and impact of margin rules for OTC Derivatives on fund risk management.

These are arguably the most significant of the derivative risk mitigation rules to be implemented since the financial crisis, require certain entities to exchange collateral in respect of their uncleared OTC derivatives. Under these new rules, private equity, real estate, infrastructure and microfinance funds may face substantial new requirements.

At this briefing you will:

learn more about the final rules and requirements for margin for OTC derivatives in terms of who is impacted
understand the key requirements for financial and nonfinancial counterparties
get a better understanding of initial margin versus variation margin and how the rules apply
gain insight into what market participants need to do to prepare for these requirements

A webinar session is also available on 20 April for those who are unable to join the lunch briefing.
