Posting collateral

The Annex to the GTC BGC on risk management and collateral states that the following forms of collateral can be posted in favour of APCS:

  • Cash deposits denominated in euro;
  • Securities meeting the requirements of section 3(2) Annex on risk management and collateral;
  • Guarantees extended by independent banks domiciled in the EU or Switzerland. A guaranteeing bank is not deemed to be independent if it directly or indirectly holds an interest of over 10% in the BGR or the latter holds such an interest in the bank. APCS reserves the right to reject guarantees from banks that are not rated by an international rating agency.
