The Default Fund is an element of the clearing guarantee system, which ensures the safety of clearing even in extreme market conditions. The sum of contributions to the Default Fund is sufficient to cover losses associated with the default of the largest CSH Member or the sum of losses of the second and third CSH Member in terms of uncovered risk. In order to calculate losses in extreme conditions, stress test scenarios are used, which are based on the risk parameters set with the confidence level of 99.9%.
The Default Fund consists of contributions from all CSH Members, proportional to their uncovered risk exposure. The Default Fund is used in accordance with the rules set forth in the CSH Regulations and the CSH Default Fund Regulations in accordance with the order of using funds from the clearing guarantee system. The Default Fund is used only if the funds accumulated in the clearing guarantee system by the Clearing House Member, to which the event of default pertained, prove not to be sufficient to cover the costs resulting from the closing of its position.
The current and archival values of the Default fund multipliers are available in the Parameters tab.
