EMIR: Central Points
EMIR: Preparing for A Changing Market Environment
• In order to enhance the resilience of the financial system
to any future financial crisis and to increase
transparency, European policymakers are introducing
regulation (termed “EMIR”) to reform the swaps market.
The incoming changes will make the swap market more
similar to the futures market, with trades cleared through
a central counterparty (CCP).
• This introduces additional rules and constraints that
pension funds should be aware of and prepare for.

Important information for pensions funds:
• Pension Funds enjoy a limited exemption from EMIR’s headline
measure – the requirement to clear OTC derivative contracts – until at
least August 2015. However, for new trades there is no exemption
from Initial Margin, providing more incentive for these trades to be
cleared early rather than make use of the pension fund exemption.
• The other key provision – reporting obligations – will apply to
pension funds. The EMIR obligations will take effect on a phased
basis from the beginning of 2013.
• Initial Margin calculations are likely to be 5-10 day VaR to a high
confidence level of 99.5/99.7.
Key questions for pension funds to consider:
• Are you going to use your exemption from EMIR?
• Are your CSAs dirty or clean?
• Have you considered your collateral adequacy under EMIR?
• Have you evaluated novation, rehypothecation and
recouponing as potential options to manage collateral
adequacy?
• What are you going to do with your legacy book of
derivative trades?
