5.5.1 Beginning of day one
Suppose that the position at the beginning of day one is as follows:
Member’s Liquid Assets |
Cash equivalent deposits 35,00,000
Securities deposits (net of haircuts) 40,00,000 |
Member’s Open Position |
200 contracts long in the 3 month contract |
Futures Prices |
3 month contracts is Rs. 1,00,000
1 month contract is Rs. 98,000 |
Initial Margin |
5% |
Days to expiry |
Fifth day before expiry of one month contract |
The margin and capital adequacy calculations will be as follows:
-
Initial margin = 5% * 200 * 1,00,000 = 10,00,000
-
Total open position = 2,00,00,000
-
Total liquid assets will be treated as 70,00,000 only since at least 50%
of total liquid assets must be in cash equivalents (see 5.3).
-
Liquid net worth = 70,00,000 - 10,00,000 = 60,00,0000
Both conditions in 4.2 above are satisfied as shown below:
Condition 1. 60,00,000 > 50,00,000
2. 60,00,000 * 331/3 = (20,00,00,000) > 2,00,00,000.
