Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a clearing framework for clearing a non-deliverable interest rate swap. The clearing framework includes an application programming interface (API) including functions for processing trade messages including information used by a clearing house computing system in clearing non-deliverable interest rate swaps; one or more user interface screens comprising information corresponding to one or more non-deliverable interest rate swaps and one or more user interface screens comprising information of cleared interest rate swaps, one an API for reporting clearing information, wherein the one or more functions comprise a first messaging function to confirm clearing of the one or more non-deliverable interest rate swaps and a second messaging function to request consent to clear the one or more non-deliverable interest rate swaps.

Abstract: Computer implemented systems and methods are disclosed that allow for the efficient and rapid determination of guarantee funds for clearing member firms. Disclosed systems and methods account for the exposure of self-referencing risk.

Abstract: Datasets may be characterized by patterns. The patterns may be caused or otherwise influenced by external factors, such as temporal, meteorological, and/or system factors. The external factors, as well as the patterns which result in the data values of the dataset because of the external factors, may provide for techniques used to account for missing data elements, outlier data elements and/or otherwise cleanse the dataset. New elements may be generated to provide for the missing data elements, and derivative datasets may be generated based on one or more cleansed datasets.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to improving the efficiency of an electronic trading system for interest rate swaps (“IRS”) by allowing for IRS contracts to be funded in a base currency while the cash flows, e.g. coupon payments, price alignment interest, variation margin, are denominated in a local currency different from the base currency. Thereby cash flows may be netted and offset minimizing the magnitude of funds needed to be moved and reducing the number of transactions processed by the electronic trading system as well as the consumption of computational resources thereby. Furthermore, the disclosed embodiments facilitate entering into IRS transactions is a currency different from the currency of cash flows while eliminating Herstatt risk due to volatility of foreign exchange rates, which allows for increased off shore participation and thereby increased transaction volume.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for generating an optimal solution for determining a value for one or more base data objects. A plurality of solutions include one or more composite data objects transacted by a transaction system processor. The composite data objects include the one or more base data objects. An optimal solution is generated by using data indicative of a level of activity and a number of sources for each of the plurality of composite data objects.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently determining prices of futures, spreads and swaps by considering product interdependencies. The disclosed systems and methods use interpolation, extrapolation and backward propagation to produce accurate results.

Abstract: A computer system may access data describing positions in a portfolio. The portfolio positions may include a position in an index credit default swap corresponding to K separate credit entities. The computer system may calculate at least one margin component based on intrinsic values of the index credit default swap at multiple times t. An intrinsic value at a time t may be represented by a sum of weighted prices, at that time t, of single name credit default swaps corresponding to the K credit entities. The computer system may also calculate data representing a margin requirement that is based at least in part on the at least one margin component and may transmit data representing the margin requirement.

Abstract: A computer system may calculate margin component values for a multi-currency credit default swap (CDS) portfolio. The portfolio may include a portion having positions corresponding to CDSs denominated in a first currency and a portion having positions corresponding to CDSs denominated in a second currency. Some of the calculated margin component values may be in terms of the first currency and some of the calculated margin component values may be in terms of the second currency. The calculated margin component values may be used to determined a margin requirement in the first currency and a margin requirement in the second currency.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining margin requirements for portfolios that are illiquid or have concentrated positions. Surveys with sample portfolios that include credit default swaps and that ask for liquidity charges are distributed to clearing members. Answers to the surveys are analyzed to develop a liquidity risk model. The liquidity risk model is subsequently used when setting margin requirements.
