Regulator the European Securities and Markets Authority has specified requirements for portfolio margining under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR).
Although EMIR allows for portfolio margining across financial instruments, the regulation did not clarify how to identify financial instruments or products that may be combined for portfolio margining or in which cases margin reductions could be up to 100%.
