Welcome and Opening Remarks

10:15 a.m.

Panel 1: Default Management at CCPs

Moderator: Thomas Kloet, Elmhurst College

1. How are Derivatives Clearing Organizations (DCOs) preparing for the potential default of a significant clearing member(s) (e.g., default firedrills)?

a. Key Speakers:

i. Sunil Cutinho, CME

ii. Dennis McLaughlin, LCH.Clearnet

iii. Ian Springle, ICE

2. What is the most likely real-life default scenario of a significant clearing member(s)? How likely is it that the default of a significant clearing member would be isolated to that clearing member? Alternatively, how likely is it that multiple clearing members, and clearing members with multiple CCP memberships, would be affected? What would be happening on the “road to default”?

a. Key Speakers:

i. Scott Flood, Citi

ii. Susan McLaughlin, Federal Reserve Bank of New York

iii. Emily Portney, JP Morgan

3. Based on what is likely to happen in an actual default of a significant clearing member, how should the DCOs’ plans be adjusted, if at all?

4. Are there areas where DCOs can coordinate and/or standardize their practices in order to better address a real-life default scenario of a significant clearing member(s)?

a. Key Speaker:

i. Michael Modlock, TriOptima

5. What role, if any, should the Commission play in addressing these issues?

12:15 p.m.

a. Key Speakers:

i. Darcy Bradbury, D. E. Shaw Group

ii. Rana Chamma, UBS Investment Bank

iii. Michael O’Brien, Eaton Vance Management

2. Is there sufficient liquidity on SEFs? What are the factors affecting SEF liquidity?
