Traded Products in Paragon

The Traded Products module deals with all the products in which DB is doing business via Margin and Derivatives trading activities. In DBs term these are covered under the Global Markets area Products under Traded Product include FX (Spot and Forward) , Futures and Option Swaps, Bonds, Equities, Options, Repo, Metals, Commodities Money Market Derivatives, Money Market Cash Instruments (Call / Term Deals), etc. Limits can be defined and exposures can be monitored at a portfolio level for various derivatives and products for DB customers. Credit Facility is created as per the legal agreement signed between the customer and bank for the specific trading clauses Netting Agreements can be captured which are used to net exposures across counterpartys branches that are participating in the agreement. To enable effective utilization of Limits, Clustered Portfolios are being supported. This helps to assign a single umbrella limit to cover transactions on different products and across different legal agreements / counterparties.

Participating Products
For each facility type (i.e. legal agreement type) there is a fixed set of products for which trading activities can be performed .While setting participating branches all or some of such products can be selected based on what is mentioned in the legal agreement Business Area In real market trading activities happens on many products. From credit risk management perspective these products have been classified in multiple groups and each of these groups is known as Business Area . Credit Officers monitor the limit at Business area level Portfolio A facility can be created for trading in multiple business areas. Limit can be assigned uniquely for one business area .Combination of facility and a business area is known as Portfolio .In traded product module limit is assigned to a portfolio
17 June 2012

Key Terms
Netting Set At Legal agreement level it is agreed that for certain participating branches and products exposure netting can be done .That is the amount overdue on DB or customer and vice versa can be adjusted .Sets of such branches and products is known as Netting set .This is primarily done for correct exposure calculation (credit netting) and for satisfying regulatory economic capital requirements (regulatory netting) Limit Maximum amount that borrower can borrow under a facility is called Limit. It is assigned to a single tile or a clustered portfolio. Availability The difference between a limit and the aggregate of current borrowings outstanding . Utilization (Exposure) This is the amount which has been utilized by the borrower out of the limit granted. Example TCS has been granted a Limit of 100 and out of that 60 has been utilized so availability would be 40 (Limit Utilization) Limit = 100 Utilization = 60 Availability = 40

Participating branches
A crucial element of a legal document is the set of contract partners, usually two legal persons. External legal entity, i.e. the counterparty, is usually referred to in PARAGON as the facility owner. Internal legal entity, i.e. the contract partner on DB side This defines the two legal contract partners of a facility according to the corresponding legal document. This is set at facility level In addition, the user has to define the set of participating branches. These are those branches of the counterparty and DB internal counterparty that are covered by the agreement Notes: Participating branches play a crucial role in trade allocation by the risk engines. Only if both sides of a trade are defined to be participating in a facility, this facility is a candidate for covering this trade else the trade is treated as a exception

17 June 2012

Key Terms
Objective The objective of Netting is to downsize the agreements between the internal and external counterparty to a single claim in case of termination of events, bankruptcy of counterparties, etc. In paragon we deal with two types of netting - Credit line Netting - Regulatory Netting Netting Agreements are captured and are used to net exposures across counterpartys branches that are participating in the agreement. Benefits Reduction of Settlement Risk Reduction of Credit Risk Reduction of Liquidity Risk

Netting

Netting Set

Key Terms
Portfolio A portfolio is the place where a limit is defined for a given Counterparty/Business Area or a combination of such (see Clustering definition). Collateralised Portfolio Portfolio classified as collateralised by a Credit Officer. Paragon will only allow for a portfolio to be marked as collateralized in the case where the corresponding facility is also collateralized. Facilities are marked as collateralized by Credit Operations in the case where GMM (Global Margin Management) affirms such state and the corresponding CSA Id is provided. Single Tile Portfolio Comprises a single combination of Facility, Business Area and Counterparty. Clustered Portfolio Comprises two or more Single Tile Portfolios grouped together into a bigger portfolio following certain rules. Portfolio Name If clustered, a portfolio bears a name according to the following name convention: Business Area/Facility Type/DB Unit/Suffix. The first 3 name components are system generated whereas the 4th is assigned by the user.

Key Terms
Limit Maximum amount that borrower can borrow under a facility. It is assigned to a single tile or a clustered portfolio. Grey Limit

Limit assigned to a portfolio to manage exposure but not visible to the trader.
Null Limit Portfolio without any limit created by default when a business area is added to a facility. Such Portfolio do not require any credit approval .However once a limit is assigned , this should be approved via credit application process Zero limit differs from a Null limit in that a Zero limit is a credit-approved limit (i.e. a Credit Officer has intentionally assigned a Zero limit to a Portfolio). Zero limits, unlike Null limits, are subject to the credit application process Technically Null limits are identified by the Null flag on the facility TCCE Limit Limit based on a haircut % of CCE limit. TCCE limit is visible to the trader. Haircut % to determine TCCE limit is now driven by the Counterparty PD Rating.
