Calculating your Credit Support Amount

How the IA contributes to the Credit Support Amount — being the amount of credit support in total that one party must have given the other at any time[1] can be mind-boggling.

It pans out for a Transferee like so:

This leaves you with a formula as follows:

Max[0, E + IAt - (IAr + Threshold.)

Let's plug in some numbers. Say:

  • Your Exposure is 10,000,000
  • The IAt you owe the counterparty: 2,000,000
  • IAr the counterparty owes you: 0
  • Your Threshold: 5,000,000

Your Credit Support Amount is therefore 10,000,000 + 2,000,000 - (0 + 5,000,000) = 7,000,000.

Now, whether you have to pay anything or receive anything as a result — whether there is a Delivery Amount or a Return Amount, in other words — that depends whether the Credit Support Amount is greater or smaller than your prevailing Credit Support Balance.

  1. ↑ As opposed to the amount required to be transferred on that day, considering the “Credit Support Balance” the Transferee already holds — that’s the Delivery Amount or Return Amount, as the case may be.
  2. ↑ SFTR disclosure, for example.
