hard · Frm Part 2 Credit Risk

A netting set has two trades with a counterparty: Trade A (MTM = +20m) and Trade B (MTM = -15m).

If the bank also holds $10m in cash collateral (variation margin) from the counterparty, what is the current net exposure and what risk remains captured in the Margin Period of Risk (MPoR)?

  1. Current exposure is 20m; netting is only recognized if the trades are in the same currency.
  2. Current exposure is zero; the remaining risk is the potential change in MTM over the next 10 days before the position can be closed out.
  3. Current exposure is 5m; the MPoR captures the risk that the counterparty fails to post more collateral.
  4. Current exposure is -5m; the MPoR is irrelevant as the bank is over-collateralized.
