Overview: CCPs in Securities Lending October 14, 2013
OCC • Participants must be both a DTC and OCC clearing member • Margin collateral: cash, US or Canadian government securities, GSE debt securities, and certain corporate bonds, letters of credit and stock • Both borrowers and lenders must post margin based on OCC STANS methodology • Borrowers are using OCC to ease counterparty credit limits and lend excess hard to borrows • Netting across OCC, CME and ICE products • OCC is clearing for AQS, a Quadriserv platform • Agent lenders and beneficial owners have not yet adopted OCC: need for a clearing agent, margin costs and asset holder regs are obstacles

Eurex Clearing • Newly launched in 2012, service allows asset holders to pledge margin collateral (no cash movement) for non-cash collateral including equities, bonds and ETFs • No requirement for clearing member • Cash collateral requires margin • Eurex Clearing targets borrowers affected by new cost of capital requirements • Clearing member borrowers must still post margin and contribute to default fund • As of October 2013, Eurex Clearing had published seven banks signed up to its service • Asset owners may be persuaded by borrowers to join Eurex Clearing for netting benefits
