1. Foreword
The present document describes the methodology used to calculate Margins for
guaranteed triparty repo contracts managed by X-COM, the triparty Collateral
Management platform owned by Monte Titoli.
The X-MAR methodology envisages the following types of margins:
a) IRMA Margins (Interest Rate MArgins), which are intended to cover (a) the penalties
charged by CC&G to the counterparty which fails to pay cash or deliver securities at
the intended settlement date of the spot leg and (b) the payment of repo interest at the
intended settlement date of the forward leg;
b) Initial Margins, aims at covering the theoretical costs of liquidation, which CC&G
would incur by liquidating the positions hypothesizing the most reasonably
unfavourable market scenario. Increased Initial Margins will apply in case of unsettled
forward leg due to lack of securities;
c) Mark to Market Margins, covering any gap between the settled amount and the
Market Value of the collateral verified at each MtM recalculation cycle.
The margins described above can be covered both in cash and securities that meet the
eligibility criteria established by CC&G.

2. IRMA Margins
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 represents respectively the Margins applied to the two parties in
two different scenarios: positive repo rates (RR> 0) and negative repo rates (RR <0).
A negative repo rate means that the collateral receiver (the buyer who is lending cash)
effectively pays interest to collateral giver (the seller who is borrowing cash).
The following paragraphs provide a more detailed description of the methods and the
timeframe of the calculation.

2.1. Penalty for failure
IRMA margins are calculated in order to cover the penalties applied by CC&G to the
participant in malis summarized in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 resulting from the
replacement of CC&G in the original contract. Two scenarios are considered:
CC&G must replace one of the two parties at the end of the spot ISD due to non-
delivery of securities or cash, and;
CC&G must replace the Collateral Giver (Receiver) in case of positive rates
(negative) for failure to pay interest at the end of the term ISD.
The below tables outline the management of the repo rate contracts with positive and
negative rates and the corresponding penalties applied in case of failure. The IRMA
Margins are defined so as to cover the penalties in all case studies described.

2.2. Calculation of IRMA Margins with positive rate
In a repo transaction with positive rate, the Collateral Giver (Cash taker) pays repo
interests to the Collateral Receiver (Cash Giver). It follows that the forward leg
countervalue is greater than the spot leg countervalue (the difference is the amount of
repo interest).
In the event of unsettled spot leg due to a lack of securities (in whole or in part), CC&G will
pay to the Member in bonis an amount equal to the entire amount of interests agreed in
the original contract.
In case of unsettled spot leg due to a lack of cash, CC&G will pay to the Member in bonis
an amount that takes into account the refinancing cost potentially borne by the borrower.
2.2.1. IRMA - Collateral Giver
In the event of a settlement failure or a partial settlement due to a lack of securities, CC&G
will debit a penalty to the failing Collateral Giver.
Failed Contractual Positions on the sell side must be settled by the fifth day after the Spot
ISD (L+5) and in any case within the day before the Forward ISD. After this deadline, the
contract will be subject to an early termination by debiting the penalty (equal to the repo
interest agreed) to the Collateral Giver (in malis) for the benefit of the Collateral Receiver
(in bonis).
To cope with this risk, the Collateral Giver is required to pay an IRMA margins equals to
the repo interest agreed in the contract.
Timeframe of calculation
The IRMA margins payed by the seller are calculated by the first Margin calculation
(intraday or end-of-the-day) following the trade date and up to the effective settlement of
the interests.
X-MAR Manual
Page 10
Figure 2-3: IRMA – Collateral Giver (RR>0)
Calculation method
The amount of repo interest for each contract is equal to the difference between the
forward leg countervalue (repurchase price) and the spot leg countervalue.
Therefore, the IRMA margin calculated for each contract for the Collateral Giver, equals to
the repo interest, will be calculated as follows:
𝐼𝑅𝑀𝐴 (𝐶𝐺) = 𝑓𝑤𝑑 𝐶𝑇𝑉 – 𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑡 𝐶𝑇𝑉
Example 1
Spot CTV: 100.000.000
Fwd CTV: 100.003.750
Repo Rate: 0,45%
ISD Spot: 24/07/2015
ISD Fwd: 27/07/2015
IRMA - Collateral Giver = 100.003.750 – 100.000.000 = 3.750
X-MAR Manual
Page 11
2.2.2. IRMA - Collateral Receiver
In the event of a settlement failure due to a lack cash, the contract will be subject to an
early termination by debiting the Collateral Receiver (in malis) with a penalty (a cash
amount commensurate to the refinancing cost).
Timeframe of calculation
The IRMA margins payed by the buyer are calculated by the first Margin calculation
(intraday or end-of-the-day) following the trade date and up to the effective settlement of
the spot leg.
Figure 2-4: IRMA – Collateral Receiver (RR>0)
Calculation method
In the event of a settlement failure due to a lack of cash, it is assumed that the Collateral
Giver will resort to Central Bank lending facility.
More specifically, it is assumed that the participant in bonis will make use of: (a) the ECB’s
Marginal lending facility (MLF) on day t when fail occurs and then (b) the Main Refinancing
Operation (MRO) 2.
2 For IRMA/penalty calculation, such rates are assumed constant and equal to those in force at the trade
date.
X-MAR Manual
Page 12
The IRMA margin, proportioned to the refinancing cost and to the amount of the loan
traded, will thus be calculated as a sum of the following:
a) the interest rate on the Eurosystem's marginal lending facility (MLF) for the day
corresponding to the Spot settlement date, and;
b) the interest rate on the Eurosystem's main refinancing operations (MRO) for each
day comprised between the day after the Spot settlement date and the day
preceding the Forward settlement date.
Mathematically:
𝐼𝑅𝑀𝐴 (𝐶𝑅) = 𝑆𝑝𝑜𝑡 𝐶𝑇𝑉 ∗ 𝑟𝑀𝐿𝐹 ∗1
360+ 𝑆𝑝𝑜𝑡 𝐶𝑇𝑉 ∗ 𝑟𝑀𝑅𝑂 ∗ [
𝐼𝑆𝐷 𝐹𝐿 − 𝐼𝑆𝐷 𝑆𝐿 − 1
360]
Example 2
Spot CTV: 100.000.000
Fwd CTV: 100.003.750
Repo Rate: 0,45%
ISD Spot: 24/07/2015
ISD Fwd: 27/07/2015
MLF: 0,30%
MRO: 0,05%
IRMA - Collateral Receiver = 100.000.000 [(0,3% + 0,05%*2)/360] = 1.111,11
2.3. Calculation of IRMA Margins with negative rate
In a repo transaction with negative rate, the Collateral Receiver (Cash Giver) pays repo
interests to the Collateral Receiver (Cash taker). It follows that the forward leg
countervalue is lower than the spot leg countervalue.
X-MAR Manual
Page 13
2.3.1. IRMA - Collateral Receiver
In the event of a settlement failure due to a lack of cash, the contract will be subject to an
early termination by debiting the Collateral Receiver (in malis) with a penalty (equal to the
repo interest agreed) for the benefit of the Collateral Giver (in bonis).
To cope with this risk, the Collateral Receiver is required to pay an IRMA margins equals
to the repo interest agreed in the contract.
Timeframe of calculation
The IRMA margins payed by the buyer are calculated by the first Margin calculation
(intraday or end-of-the-day) following the trade date and up to the effective settlement of
the interests.
Figure 2-5: IRMA –Collateral Receiver (RR<0)
Calculation method
In the event of a settlement failure due to a lack of cash, repo interests payed by the
Collateral Receiver to the Giver are calculated on the traded amount.
X-MAR Manual
Page 14
Therefore, the IRMA margin calculated for each contract traded by the Collateral Receiver,
equals to the repo interest, will be calculated as the difference between the forward leg
countervalue (repurchase price) and the spot leg countervalue as follows:
𝐼𝑅𝑀𝐴 (𝐶𝑅) = 𝑎𝑏𝑠 (𝐶𝑇𝑉 𝑇𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑒 – 𝐶𝑇𝑉 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖)
Example 3
Spot CTV: 100.000.000
Fwd CTV: 99.998.583,33
Repo Rate: -0,17%
ISD Spot: 24/07/2015
ISD Fwd: 27/07/2015
IRMA - Collateral Receiver = |99.998.583,33– 100.000.000| =| - 1.416,67| = 1.416,67
2.3.2. IRMA - Collateral Giver
In case of unsettled spot leg due to a lack of securities, the penalty charged to Collateral
Giver will be proportionate to the Eurosystem deposit facility interest rate (supposed
negative). It is assumed indeed that the Collateral Receiver (Cash Giver) will be forced to
deposit cash to Central Bank for a period equals to the original maturity of the repo.
Timeframe of calculation
The IRMA margins payed by the seller are calculated by the first Margin calculation
(intraday or end-of-the-day) following the trade date and up to the effective liquidation of
the corresponding penalty charged to the Collateral Giver.
The above penalty will be settled during the Daily Settlement:
X-MAR Manual
Page 15
the day after the effective settlement date of the Forward Leg, in case of partial or
total settlement of the spot leg, but over the Spot settlement date;
the day after the end of validity date of the Forward Leg, in case of settlement
failure of the Forward leg;
the day after the Forward settlement date, in case of total settlement failure of the
Spot leg.
Figure 2-6: IRMA –Collateral Giver (RR<0)
Calculation method
As represented in Figure 2-6 the amount of IRMA depends on the status of the spot leg
and varies accordingly. Three cases can be identified:
1) Trade date ≤ t < ISD Spot3:
Between the trade date and the ISD spot the IRMA paid by the Collateral Giver are
calculated on the entire amount negotiated (not yet being known the outcome of the spot
3 Intraday margins calculated in t = ISD spot fall within this case if the spot leg had not yet settled by
calculation time.

𝐼𝑅𝑀𝐴 (𝐶𝐺) = 𝐶𝑇𝑉 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖 ∗ |𝑇𝐷| ∗ [𝐼𝑆𝐷 𝐹𝐿 − 𝐼𝑆𝐷 𝑆𝐿
360]
where |TD| represents the absolute value of ECB deposit facility interest rate in force at
trade date4.
In case of total settlement of the spot leg at ISD Spot, the IRMA charged to the Collateral
Giver will no longer be calculated.
Example 4
We are between the trade date and the ISD spot (t = 28/07/2015)
Spot CTV: 100.000.000

2) ISD Spot ≤ t ≤ effective settlement date (t ≤ ISD FL -1):
Whereas spot leg is not yet completely settled at the end of ISD SL, IRMA due by the
Collateral Giver are calculated on the unsettled amount for each day comprised between
ISD Spot and the effective settlement of the forward leg.
Unlike case 1) the IRMA will be determined as cumulated daily IRMA calculated on each
day of fail and a projection of future IRMA, assuming that the unsettled amount remains
unchanged until the day before the ISD FL. In mathematical terms:
4 The penalty (and consequently the IRMA) considers that rate invariable and equal to that in force at the
trade date.

3) ISD FL ≤ t ≤ FV FL
If at the end of the ISD term the contract and consequently the penalty charged to the
Collateral Giver have not yet settled due to lack of securities, IRMA will be calculated
until the effective settlement of the penalty
The amount will correspond to the IRMA calculated in t=ISD FL-1 (column I of the table

3. Initial Margins
3.1.1. Ordinary Initial Margins
The Margins Initials are designed to evaluate the maximum possible loss in the event of
closure of the positions in most unfavourable scenario of prices / rates movements . The
amount of the Initial Margins is proportional to the haircuts provided set by CC&G for each
security deposited as collateral.
Timeframe of calculation
Initial Margins are calculated starting from the effective settlement of spot leg up to the
effective Settlement of the forward leg (ISD term or FV FL).
Figure 3-1: Ordinary Initial Margins
Calculation method
When spot leg settles, the Collateral Receiver delivers a cash amount equal to X to the
Collateral Giver who simultaneously provide the Receiver with an equivalent countervalue
X-MAR Manual
Page 20
of securities equal to X + H, where H represent the haircut countervalue applied5. In order
to ensure a proper risk management, Collateral Receiver will be request to pay an amount
of Initial Margin equal to twice the Haircut applied (2H).
𝑂𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑖 𝐼𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑛 = 2 ∗ 𝐻𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑢𝑡 = 2 ∗ (𝐶𝑇𝑉 𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑜 − 𝐶𝑇𝑉 𝑔𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑧𝑖𝑎)
where the collateral value is calculated as:
𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 = [𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡à × (𝑃𝑟𝑒𝑧𝑧𝑜 + 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑜) × 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜
(1 + 𝐻𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑐𝑢𝑡)] /100
The valorisation ratio is equal to the product of pool factor and the indexing coefficient (for
inflation-linked bonds).

3.1.2. Initial margins on fail positions
Fail positions due to lack of securities on the forward leg - for the counterparty in malis -
are margined with the same methodology described above, keeping these positions
segregated from the ordinary ones and applying, to the fail positions only, an increasing
percentage6 on margins (PM) for each day of fail (the maximum number of days is equal to
the difference between the FV FL and ISD FL).
5 For the sake of simplicity, the interposition of CC&G is omitted.
6 Such percentages are reported on CC&G’s website.

In case of fail due to lack of securities at the ISD FL, the Collateral Receiver can return the
securities until the day of the end of validity. Margins in fail Initials are no longer calculated
once the securities have been delivered.
Figure 3-2: Initial Margin on fails: Effective settlement after ISD FL
4. Mark-to-Market Margins
Mark to Market Margins aim at covering any gap between the collateral value and the
bilateral exposure.
In order to ensure the alignment of positions at current market values, the X-COM system
revaluates collateral both intraday and end of day and compare the value of the
guarantees with the amount of bilateral exposure. Whereas the new value of the securities
is lower than the bilateral exposure the system send a request to the Collateral Giver of
securities integration (ACS - Automatic Search Collateral). If the guarantee amount is still
insufficient to cover the amount of the bilateral exposures, CC&G will require the Collateral
Giver a Mark-to-Market Margin after a certain interval of time (cut-off) from the ACS
X-MAR Manual
Page 22
generation in order to cover the difference.
Timeframe of calculation
The calculation of Mark-to- Market Margins starts from the effective settlement of the Spot
Leg up to the ISD FL.
Figure 4-1: Mark-to-Market Margin
Calculation method
Mark-to-Market Margins are calculated as the difference between the collateral value and
the amount settled for the front Leg7.
𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑖 𝑑𝑖 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 − 𝑡𝑜 − 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 = 𝑎𝑏𝑠 [𝑚𝑖𝑛 (𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 − 𝑆𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡; 0)]
Example 8
