How the {{csaprov|IA}} contributes to the {{csaprov|Credit Support Amount}} — being the total amount a {{csaprov|Transferor}} actually has to hand over to the {{csaprov|Transferee}} can be mind-boggling.

#Any {{csaprov|Threshold}} that applies to the {{csaprov|Transferor}} - being the minimum MTM amount at which it must pony up variation margin in the first place.<br /> | |||
