Each participating Clearing Member is obligated to deposit the clearing collateral and, in addition, to contribute the specified amount to the default fund maintained by CCPA. The Default Fund contribution is calculated based on a minimum amount and a dynamic component.

The minimum contribution amounts to

  • GCMs EUR 250.000,00
  • DCMs EUR   50.000,00

The dynamic component is based on the respective exposures of each Clearing Member and is determined by the exact calculation rule "Public information on Default Fund Calculation" for the contribution to the default fund.

The specified amount must be provided to CCPA in the form of a euro cash deposit and shall serve exclusively to cover open liabilities in the event of default that cannot be covered fully by the own clearing collateral or the amount contributed to the default fund by the defaulting party.

Information about the realization can be found in the document "Default Waterfall"
