- The document discusses various options for clearing and reporting trades, including bilateral clearing directly with a counterparty, and multilateral clearing through platforms like TriReduce and Ovovis.
- It compares the benefits and risks of bilateral clearing vs. multilateral clearing through these platforms, such as reducing EMIR thresholds, benefits to margin and credit, costs, and time to termination.
- Multilateral platforms provide benefits like netting trades to reduce notional and EMIR thresholds, but also have costs and require trades to be terminated through their systems.
