COLLATERAL RE-USE The practice of collateral re-use involves the re-pledging/re-delivery, sale, investment, or other contractuallypermitted use of collateral received by a party. All collateral received under title transfer forms of collateral agreement has the intrinsic property of being re-usable, because title to the asset has been transferred. Collateral received under security interest forms of collateral agreement may have the right of re-use (called “rehypothecation”), but this must be granted as a right by the delivering party; ISDA CSAs generally include this right of re-use unless the parties specifically remove it. Collateral re-use is very common across the industry and is of importance in both the reduction of collateral funding costs and ensuring that the global supply of high quality collateral assets is not overwhelmed by demand, thus driving up prices for such assets. Table 2.3: Percentage of collateral re-used Percentage posted in connection with OTC derivatives transactions that is eligible to be re-used under the terms of the collateral agreements Large, Medium, Small, Average Average Average Cash 92.7% 83.2% 66.5% Securities 57.8% 75.7% 40.3% Other 19.9% 16.9% 4.5% Total 82.0% 77.9% 64.7% Percentage posted in connection with OTC derivatives transactions that is actually re-used under the terms of the collateral agreements Large, Medium, Small, Average Average Average Cash 88.5% 69.4% 42.4% Securities 42.1% 38.3% 7.0% Other 4.1% 8.0% 0.0% Total 75.2% 62.2% 40.1% In the 2013 Survey, there continues to be a significant proportion of cash being reused, particularly amongst large firms, with 88.5 percent of collateral posted being re-used (where 92.7 percent is eligible to be reused under the terms of the collateral arrangement). Collateral re-use practices are discussed more comprehensively in ISDA's “Market Review of OTC Derivative Bilateral Collateralization Practices”, cited earlier. ISDA Margin Survey 2013 June 2013
3. EXTENT OF COLLATERAL USE 12 3.1. NUMBER AND TYPES OF COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS (SUPPORTING NON-CLEARED OTC TRANSACTIONS) Respondents to the 2013 Margin Survey report 118,853 active 6 collateral agreements in place for non-cleared OTC transactions, compared with 137,869 in the 2012 Survey, a 14 percent decrease. There are a number of factors contributing to this reduction. These include counterparty consolidation whereby legacy collateral agreements are discontinued over time due to mergers, effort by firms to consolidate multiple agreement types for the same legal entity (where a credit support deed, annex and long form confirmation may, for example, be in place), the more prolific negotiation of CSAs to cover multiple entities, and a transition toward cleared transactions. As per table 2.1, there has been an increase in the reported collateral in circulation, and therefore it is unlikely that a reduction in active collateral agreements is reflective of reduced margining and collateral activity throughout the industry. Charts 3.1 and 3.2 show the split between unilateral and bilateral agreements and between ISDA CSA 7 and non- ISDA CSA agreements. Respondents report that approximately 77 percent of their ISDA CSAs and 88 percent of all agreements are bilateral. As in previous years, ISDA CSA documentation is the most frequent choice among practitioners at about 87 percent. Non-ISDA CSA documents include bespoke margin agreements, long-form confirmations with collateral terms, master margining agreements, commodity-specific margining agreements, and jurisdiction-specific agreements such as French AFB and German Rahmenvertrag. Chart 3.1: Percentage and types of collateral agreements used by respondents: Bilateral vs. Unilateral 6 Active collateral agreements are those with outstanding exposure and / or collateral balances. 7 For these purposes we include ISDA Credit Support Annexes according to New York, English and Japanese laws, ISDA Credit Support Deeds, and ISDA Margin Provisions.
