Since OTCD activity were first published in 1998, total notional turnover inETD has consistently been greater than OTCD; Notional turnover in these
markets has been measured in quadrillions since 2004Notional turnover values shed a new - and bright - light on global derivatives marketsNotional turnover values shed a new perspective on global derivatives markets Comparisons of OTCD markets with other markets are more illustrative when notional turnover is included. Thanks to trade
repositories, this level of detail is now possible with greater accuracy, detail and regularity.
Notional turnover normalizes the activit between OTCD and ETD markets which eliminates the need for com arisons basedon the variety of contract sizes in ETD and the lack of contract sizes in OTCD.
Levels of notional turnover provide numerous additional insights into the nature of these markets including: underlyingstrategies; composition of market demographics; product maturity composition; and level of operational integrity.
The calculation of turnover frequency (TOF) - the ratio of turnover values to notional values outstanding - is the best indication

The main drawback in using ETD notional turnover is due to the high levels of structural activity caused by rolling from monthto month and/or developing longer term exposures from strips of short term instruments. TABB Group estimates that up to 5%
of ETD turnover can be attributed to this type of structural activity.

Reporting All OTC Derivatives transactions must be reported
Highlights In the US and EU, swaps entered into on or after such date of enactment shall be reported to a registered swap data
repository In the EU a threshold will exist under which corporate end users will not have to report certain trades. A swap repository is any person that collects and maintains information or records with respect to transactions or
positions in, or the terms and conditions of, swaps entered into by third-parties for the purpose of providing a centralizedrecordkeeping facility for swaps. This would include the DTCC Trade Information Warehouse (TIW) or ICAP/TriOptimasinterest rate derivatives repository, for example.

Focus Overview
RegistrationDealers and major swap participants must register with regulators;capital and collateral requirements will be more tightly regulated
Highlights
Key goal of passed and proposed legislation, globally ,is registration of systemically-important entities.
In the US, dealers and major swap participants must register with a prudent regulator. It is unclear how the EU willsegment participants, other than expected exemptions for corporate end users.
regu a ors w e y cas a w e ne w en e erm n ng w o qua es as a swap ea er an ma or swap par c pan . sexpected that nearly 200 firms will qualify as swap dealers and the list of major swap participants will be longer still, likelyincluding non-financial companies with large trading entities, since they are systemically important.
Consequences (intended and unintended) Transactions with zero collateral posted will no longer be permitted, whether traded bilaterally or centrally cleared.
Buy-side firms may work to stay below the CFTC / SEC-defined substantial net position threshold to avoid requirementsthat come with being a major swap participant.
If one side of a trade is neither a major swap participant nor swap dealer, clearing and execution mandates will not apply.However, trades will still need to be reported.
Winners and Losers
Regulators A clearer view into who is who in the industry will add transparency aiding the management of systemic risk.
Dealers and major buy-side firms will be forced to follow onerous registration requirements, requiring considerable time

Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), also referred to as Special Purpose Entities (SPEs), are legal entities set up for a sole purpose;as it relates to this study. SPVs are used to hold the assets associated with Asset Backed Securities, Collateralized DebtObli ations and other like structured roducts.
SPV CDS Holdings Outstanding Notional
Leading up to the credit crisis, instead of actual mortgage bonds, SPVs would hold CDS on underlying mortgage bonds to create asynthetic CDO, since the CDS provided similar, yet leveraged, exposure to the underlying mortgage pool.
As the credit crisis caused the creation of these structured products to effectively cease and many existing SPVs to unwind, SPVCDS holdings dropped off dramatically from their height in 2007 to the end of 2009.
