30/30/30 Delivers

• Accurate margin calls based on confirmed (not estimated) positions
• Reduced overfunding across multiple FCMs during volatile periods (no need to “double fund” uncertainty)
• Treasury decisions based on real positions (e.g., no unnecessary asset liquidations)
• Eliminates risk of unintended exposure (e.g., failed liquidation trades remaining unclaimed into expiry)

Measurable Results

Objective: Margin, collateral, and exposure calculations are based on complete and accurate trade data.

Measurable Results

• Margin call validation vs confirmed positions
• Monitoring of over/under-funding incidents
• Break analysis tied to trade timing delays

KPI: % of margin calculated on confirmed (vs estimated) positions

Real-World Scenario

A client clears through two FCMs and must allocate collateral intraday. Without timely trade certainty, treasury overfunds both brokers to ensure coverage. With 30/30/30, confirmed positions allow precise allocation of collateral, reducing duplicate funding by several million dollars during volatile periods.

30/30/30 Delivers

• Broker scorecards highlight which counterparties miss 30/30/30 timelines
• Comparable metrics across brokers enable performance management and escalation
• Consistent workflow across regions/products reduces operational complexity
• Supports vendor/system alignment (less customization, more interoperability)

Measurable Results

Objective: Trade processing performance is measurable, comparable, and consistently applied across counterparties.

Measurable Results

• Broker scorecards (timeliness and accuracy metrics)
• Benchmarking of execution-to-clearing timelines
• Standardized workflow documentation aligned to DMIST

KPI: % of trades meeting 30/30/30 by broker / venue

Real-World Scenario

A client creates a monthly scorecard showing the percentage of trades meeting 30/30/30 by executing broker and clearing broker. One broker consistently misses targets during high-volume periods, which leads to targeted remediation discussions and measurable improvement over the following quarter.
