This set of visualizations shows several sets of data related to the number of clearing firms at each derivatives clearinghouse. The first chart shows the number of general clearing members at each CCP, as reported in field 18.1.1.1 of the quarterly public quantitative disclosures. The second chart shows the share of the total initial margin held by the top five general clearing members. The third chart shows the share of the total default fund resources contributed by the top five general clearing members.

Clearing Members and Concentration

This set of visualizations shows several sets of data related to the number of clearing firms at each derivatives clearinghouse. The first chart shows the number of general clearing members at each CCP, as reported in field 18.1.1.1 of the quarterly public quantitative disclosures. The second chart shows the share of the total initial margin held by the top five general clearing members. The third chart shows the share of the total default fund resources contributed by the top five general clearing members.

This visualization shows the estimated loss that would be absorbed by a derivatives clearinghouse in two closely related scenarios: the default of the single largest clearing member, as reported in field 4.4.3 of its quarterly public quantitative disclosures; and the simultaneous default of any two clearing members, as reported in field 4.4.7.

Peak Stress Loss Exposure

This visualization shows the estimated loss that would be absorbed by a derivatives clearinghouse in two closely related scenarios: the default of the single largest clearing member, as reported in field 4.4.3 of its quarterly public quantitative disclosures; and the simultaneous default of any two clearing members, as reported in field 4.4.7.

This visualization shows data on margin breaches, which happen when intraday price movements cause the actual marked-to-market exposure in the account of a clearinghouse member to exceed the initial margin held against that member account.  For each clearinghouse in this visualization, the amount shown represents the peak exposure in each clearing service over the previous 12 months, as reported in field 6.5.4 of the quarterly public quantitative disclosures. Peak exposure represents the maximum margin breach in any single member account over that time period.
