Nodal Clear, Nodal Exchange’s clearing house, provides effective credit risk management and superior capital efficiency through the use of portfolio margining. This robust and effective approach to margining, which accounts for the correlations between many different contracts, and different commodities (e.g., power and gas), results in greater capital efficiency for Nodal Exchange participants.
- Nodal’s margin model provides capital efficiencies and stability for market participants.
- Nodal is effectively using the same model parameters since Nodal Clear commenced in October 2015.
