Example: Investor A opens 10 positions to buy VN30F1708, the market price of the bond at the time of purchase is 700 points, the multiplier of the contract is 100,000, the margin ratio is 10%.
The initial margin requirement = 10% * 10 * 700 * 100,000 = 70 million (while the contract value is 700 million)
Since the margin requirement varies according to the market price, if the ratio between the required Margin Value / Valid Margin Value violates the maintenance threshold at MBS or the Level 1 Alert Level at the VSD, Investors will have to pay additional margin or close position to ensure the above rate back to maintain at MBS.
Eg. (Continued in v. 11)
Assume: A investor originally submitted 120 million as collateral, the retention margin at MBS and VSD is 80%. The price of VN30F1708 fell from 700 to 680:
+ Initial margin value: = 10% * 10 * 680 * 100,000 = 68 million
+ Account losses = (700 - 695) * 10 * 100,000 = 50 million
- Required deposit value of the account: = 68 tr + 50 tr = 118 tr
- Margin ratio = 118/120 = 98.33% (> maintained at MBS and VSD)
- Private investors must pay an additional 27.5 trillion to raise the margin ratio to maintain
- The Securities Depository Center (VSD) establishes the following 3 (03) level of alert thresholds to monitor the rate of use of collateral assets on each investor's account in the trading session:
+ Level 1 warning: when the rate of use of collateral is 80%
+ Level 2 warning: when the rate of use of collateral is 90%
+ Level 3 warning: when the margin utilization rate reaches 100%
- MBS establishes three alert thresholds to monitor the rate of collateral use at the company as follows:
+ Retention margin ratio:
+ Call rate:
+ Treatment rate
- At level 1 and 2 warning level, MBS will warn or ask investors to add additional collateral.
- At the level 3 warning level, the CKPS transaction account will be suspended from the VSD transaction. Accounts will not be allowed to open new positions, except for reciprocal transactions to close positions (these transactions are executed by MBS under the approval of the VSD), or by the addition of collateral assets. To reduce the use of margin.
