Systems and methods for determining an initial margin

A method comprising:

• in a system comprising one or more processors configured to execute machine-readable instructions stored in a non-transitory storage medium:
• receiving risk factor data from a plurality of data sources, the risk factor data comprising current real-time data and historical data associated with one or more financial portfolios;
• generating an initial margin for the one or more financial portfolios, according to a historical risk factor simulation process, based on the risk factor data;
• determining a stress metric to account for increases or decreases in the risk factor data by:
• determining daily changes in the historical data,
• determining a percentile of the daily changes using a variable that accounts for daily changes in volatility, and
• applying a stress volatility treatment to the percentile using a risk factor anti-pro-cyclicality index;
• determining a portfolio level liquidity charge for the one or more financial portfolios based on bid and ask spread data associated with the one or more financial portfolios;
• determining a concentration charge for the one or more financial portfolios;
• determining a total portfolio margin based on a combination of the initial margin, the stress metric, the portfolio level liquidity charge and the concentration charge;
• creating a summary risk report in a standardized format, the summary risk report comprising the total portfolio margin;
• storing the summary risk report in the standardized format in one or more databases;
• formatting, based on preferences of a data recipient stored in the one or more databases, the summary risk report into a non-standardized format to allow for presentation on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the data recipient, the non-standardized format particular to the data recipient;
• and
• distributing, via a data recipient interface, the formatted summary risk report to the data recipient according to one or more of a predefined time interval and a predetermined condition.
