通告 CIRCULAR

Subject:

Risk Management Arrangements in respect of the Lunar New Year Holidays -

Reminder

Enquiry:

2211-6901

Reference is made to the circular (DCRM/ SEO CH/ 007/2017 ) dated 16 January 2017 regarding the risk management measures to be adopted by SEOCH in respect of the forth-coming Lunar New Year Holidays. Participants are kindly reminded to take note of the following arrangements:

  1. The margin intervals for stock options classes will be increased temporarily after the close of business on 26 January 2017. Please refer to the Appendix for the temporarily increased margin interval for each option class. The margin intervals will be restored to normal after the close of business on 27 January 2017.

  2. A special intra-day margin call on SEOCH Participants in respect of all open positions will be made at around 12:00 noon on 27 January 2017.

To assist Participants in better assessing the potential margin impacts at both clearing house and client levels, the Clearing House has made available a set of simulated Risk Parameter Files ("Simulated RPF") on the HKEX website for Participants' margin estimation purpose. This set of Simulated RPF is prepared based on the settlement prices of 19 January 2017 and the temporarily increased margin levels. Participants may make use of these simulated RPF to estimate the respective clearing house and client margin requirements under the temporarily increased margin levels for their portfolios as well as the estimated funding requirements thereof. Participants should note that these simulated RPF are for reference only and do not intend to replace any daily RPF which are available at the end of each business day for the calculation of the actual day-end margin requirements.

2

For the purpose of the Capital-Based Position Limit (CBPL) assessment and the necessary additional margin calculation on the trading day prior to the holiday period, the normal margin rates instead of the temporarily increased holiday margin rates will be applied. In this regard, the Clearing House will disseminate a tailor-made risk parameter file carrying normal margin rate ("Normal Margin RPF") via its website after the close of business on 26 January 2017 to assist participants in monitoring their CBPL.

The "Simulated RPF" and the "Normal Margin RPF" as mentioned above can be downloaded from the HKEX website with the hyperlink stated below:

Please ensure that your staffs are fully aware of both the special intra-day margin call and the temporary increase in the margin intervals and make necessary arrangement with your designated bank. You are also strongly advised to give advanced notice to your clients regarding these arrangements where appropriate and ensure adequate margin deposits from your clients are maintained during the holiday period.
