ICE’s Initial Margin (IM) service leverages the industry-standard ISDA SIMM™ (Standard Initial Margin Model) to calculate initial margin requirements for non-centrally cleared derivatives.
The solution supports both pre- and post-trade margin assessments, enabling firms to manage risk exposures proactively. It calculates and aggregates trade sensitivities by risk bucket and delivers results in the standardized CRIF (Common Risk Interchange Format), supporting regulatory compliance and risk management processes. The module supports a broad spectrum of derivative instruments and includes both static and dynamic back-testing capabilities.
