NLX offers a range of both short-term interest rate (STIRs) and long-term interest rate (LTIRs) euro- and sterling-based listed derivative products. NLX aims to enhance the competitive landscape by providing highly competitive execution and clearing fees and significant margin efficiencies.
NLX will enable simplified execution of a broad range of hedge, strategy and contingent trades and will support registration of both Central Order Book (COB) and off order book trades on the same platform.
NASDAQ OMX NLX CEO, Charlotte Crosswell discusses NLX products and how the new market, with a horizontal clearing model, will benefit participants through margin efficiencies in the evolving regulatory landscape.
Clearing: In Partnership with LCH.Clearnet
NLX products will be cleared through LCH.Clearnet using an innovative Value-at-Risk (VaR) risk methodology, replacing 25-year old SPAN. The implementation of VaR margining, and support for the margining of a range of interest rate contracts across the yield curve aims to provide significant portfolio margin efficiencies.
Using VaR margining for NLX products means that a single consistent risk management methodology will shortly be in place across both NLX listed products and a range of OTC derivatives held at LCH.Clearnet.
