Risk Management 34/17: Treatment of Initial Margin in relation to pre-novation


As of January 2 2018, a threshold amount will be introduced on Fixed Income OTC instruments to improve the pre-novation process.

With the establishment of MiFID2, Nasdaq will introduce a threshold amount to improve the pre-novation process on OTC instruments. This means that if a smaller amount of collateral is missing for an individual trade to be cleared within the 10 second timeframe, the trade will still be accepted for clearing.
