TradeMech: Method to Multilaterally Net Trades Without Altering Counterparty Exposure
A new method, 'TradeMech,' is proposed for multilateral netting in financial markets, such as bond and derivatives. Unlike existing methods that may alter counterparty exposure, TradeMech transforms bilateral contracts into chains and cycles, netting obligations without reallocating risk, which is crucial for preserving existing relationships.
WHY IT MATTERS
This research could enhance efficiency and reduce systemic risk in financial markets by improving netting processes, beneficial for clearinghouses and institutional trading desks.
