1. Introduction Risk Management System (RMS) is a very critical offering of NOW. NOW has got a rule based RMS module. These rules work in combination with few pre-defined product tags. The product tags available in NOW are:

• MIS: Margin Intraday square off

• CNC: Cash and carry

• NRML: Normal The behaviors of these products are purely dependent on the set of rules that are selected in the risk template which is known as the category. This highly flexible and configurable tool enables to monitor the risk profile of client/dealer on an online basis. This is monitored across the segments, exchanges, products as well as specific symbols if required. Limits are set for the hierarchy of users, clients etc. as per the risk assessment of each user/client. Salient features

• Real time margin computation

• Rule based risk management system (RMS)

• Customise risk management at various levels o Branch o Users o Client group o Clients o Segment o Product

• Prompt risk management rejection alerts

• Comprehensive multi- tier risk management system

• Margin computation as per exchange norms


2. Category Category is a template which comprises of various risk management rules. Create different RMS rule category by naming it and assigning it to different entities based on the risk relationship. Refer ‘Annexure C’ for commonly used RMS rule.

• Add rules to the category by using drop down from ‘Filter Rules’. Filtered rule includes limit rule, multiplier rule, all rules and exchange wise as well i.e. CDS- NSE Currency Derivative Segment, CM – Cash Market, COM – Commodities Market, F&O – NSE Futures & Options.

• For adding rule to the category, select the rule and click on add button or double click on the rule; or for removing rule from the category select the desired rule from ‘Selected rule’ field and click on ‘Del’ button or double click on the rule.

• In case risk manager don’t want to do any risk management for an entity, then select the rule ‘No Validation’ from the set of rules. This rule ensures that the entity is not checked for any limits; however in case of an entity is blocked from RMS blocking then the same is validated.

• Risk management is divided in two modes viz. multiplier and limit basis. o Multiplier based rule: In case of multiplier mode of risk management all

margin computations are done against a single value i.e. Cash deposit. The multiplier number as defined in corresponding rules is multiplied with cash margin available.

o Limit based rule: In case of limit mode, each RMS rules is validated against the respective field or value which is set from RMS update limit window.

• Set warning alerts at various threshold levels for both modes of risk management, which are as follows.


2.1 Warning percentages alert

• Set percentage for the following and view alert messages whenever the assigned entities hit the limit. o Mark to Market (MTM) Pc: Set mark to market percentage in

number. An alert is generated whenever an entity to whom the category is assigned makes MTM loss which is more than the specified percentage of the available limit.

o M To M Pc Incr: Set a number after which M to M Pc alert message gets generated on an incremental basis. For e.g. M to M Pc is set as 70, and M to M Pc Incr is set as 5 then after the first alert gets generated at 70 the subsequent alerts will be generated whenever user or client hit M to M Pc at 75,80,85.

o Margin Pc: Set margin percentage in number. An alert is generated when percentage derived from margin used to cash available margin exceeds the specified percentage in margin pc field.

o Margin Pc Incr: Set a number after which Margin Pc alert message gets generated on an incremental basis. For e.g. Margin Pc is set as 90, and Margin Pc Incr is set as 2 then alert get generated whenever user or client hit Margin Pc at 92,94,96.

2.2 Multiplier field

• Exposure multiplier: Set a number which allows the entity to create exposure in the cash / derivative segment up to number of times of the actual cash margin. This exposure is taking into account the orders and trades done for the product MIS and NRML in the cash / derivative segment.

• Turnover multiplier: Set a number which allows the entity to make a turnover up to number of times of the available cash margin. The turnover computation takes into account the pending orders as well as the actual trades done in the cash as well as the FO segment for the product MIS and NRML.

• Buy Exposure multiplier: Set a number which allows the entity to create open exposure on the buy orders and trades done upto number of times of the actual cash margin. The buy exposure takes into account the buy orders for the cash segment for the product MIS and NRML only.

• Sell Exposure multiplier: Set a number which allows the entity to create open exposure on the sell orders and trades done upto number of times of the actual cash margin. The sell exposure takes into account the buy orders for the cash segment for the product MIS and NRML only

• M to M multiplier: Set a number to allow the entity to make maximum of MTM loss upto number of times of the actual cash margin in cash and derivative segment. In other words you can allow this rule to utilise higher or lower M to M loss from the cash margin available. For e.g. Available cash margin is Rs10000, Unrealised loss is Rs100, o M to M Multiplier = 1, user or client can place order upto Rs9000

[10000 – {1000 / 1(MTM Multiplier)}].


o M to M Multiplier = 0.5, user or client can place order upto Rs8000 [10000 – {1000 / 0.5(MTM Multiplier)}].

o M to M Multiplier = 2, user or client can place order upto Rs9500 [10000 – {1000 / 2(MTM Multiplier)}].

• Margin Factor: Set a number which acts as a factor for blocking the margin for the entities. This factor is applicable for the VAR, ELM rules in case of the cash segment and in case of FO this factor is applicable for the span and exposure margin. For e.g. Available cash margin is Rs.10000, VaR margin for security is Rs.1000 & SPAN margin is Rs.2000, o Margin factor = 1, user or client can place order upto Rs7000 [10000

– {1000 x 1(margin factor)} – {2000 x 1(margin factor)}]. o Margin factor = 0.5, user or client can place order upto Rs8500

[10000 – (1000 x 0.5) – (2000 x 0.5)]. o Margin factor = 2, user or client can place order upto Rs.4000 [10000

– (1000 x 2) – (2000 x 2)]. o Product Wise RMS: Risk management system provides user an

option to provide leverage based on products. Risk manager can define different multiplier factors for CNC, MIS and NRML product in cash and derivative segments. Following are product wise fields:

o CNC Buy Factor: Define a number to provide leverage on cash segment for purchase in CNC product type. Number entered in buy factor field should be 1 or less than 1.

o Cash MIS factor: Define a number to provide leverage on order placed in cash segment for MIS product type.

o Cash NRML Factor: Define a number to provide leverage on order placed in cash segment for NRML product type.

o Derivative MIS Factor: Define a number to provide leverage on order placed in derivative segment for MIS product type.

o Derivative NRML Factor: Define a number to provide leverage on order placed in derivative segment for NRML product type.

o Product wise multiplier factor is applicable for following rules: � Check CAC amount used* � Var margin order level � Var margin trade level � Var and ELM margin order level � Var and ELM margin trade level � Var, ELM and Adhoc order level � Var, ELM and Adhoc trade level � Scrip basket margin order level � Scrip basket margin trade level � Scrip margin order level � Scrip margin trade level � Span Margin Order level � Span Margin Trade level � Exposure Margin Fo order level


� Exposure Margin CDS order level � Exposure Margin commodities order level � Exposure Margin FO and commodities trade level � For ‘Check CAC amount used’ rule, CNC buy factor is

applicable. � Margin used is calculated in case of product wise (MIS / NRML)

margin factor as:

− Margin Used in case of MIS / NRML order = Margin as per above rule X Margin Factor X Product wise multiplier factor

− Margin Used in case of CNC order = Order value x CNC Buy Factor

− Illustration 1:

Margin Used = Order value x Margin Factor (4 qty) 15432.00 - -

Balance Cash 0

2.3 Limit field

• Risk parameter is used in cash as well as derivative segment. Set rules for the following in absolute value terms: o Max Order Qty: Define a number upto which maximum order quantity is

permissible in single order entry. In other words the number of security/contract placed by an entity in a single order cannot exceed the quantity assigned against the ‘Max Order Qty’ field. For e.g. ‘Max Order Qty’ set as 1000 quantity, then single order placed by an entity can’t exceed 1000 quantities.

o Max Order Value: Define a number upto which maximum order value is permissible in single order entry. In other words the value placed by an entity in a single order cannot exceed the value assigned in ‘Max Order Value’ field. For e.g. ‘Max Order Value’ set as Rs.100000, then single order placed by an entity can’t exceed Rs.100000.

o Max Lot Size: Define a number upto which maximum order lot is permissible in single order entry in derivative segment. In other words the number of contract placed by an entity in a single order cannot exceed the lot size assigned against the ‘Max Lot Size’ field. For e.g. ‘Max Lot Size’ set as 10 lots, then single order placed by an entity can’t exceed quantities (10xlot size).

o Min Order Qty: Define a number upto which minimum order quantity is entered in single order entry. In other words the number of security/contract placed by an entity in a single order contains quantity assigned in ‘Min Order Qty’ field. For e.g. ‘Min Order Qty’ set as 50 quantities, then single order placed by an entity can’t be less than 50 quantities.

o Pending order value: Set a value to restrict entity from placing order upto maximum permissible pending orders i.e. order not yet traded (unmatched order).

o Pending buy order value: Set a value to restrict entity from placing buy order upto maximum permissible pending buy orders i.e. buy order not yet traded (unmatched buy order).

o Pending sell order value: Set a value to restrict entity from placing sell order upto maximum permissible pending sell orders i.e. sell order not yet traded (unmatched sell order).


o Intrinsic Percentage: Define a number for considering option price for computing eligible option price limit upto which the order is allowed in option contract. For e.g. ‘Intrinsic Percentage’ set as 5, then eligible option price limit is computed based on intrinsic value and intrinsic percentage.

2.4.22 Don’t allow M to M loss on collateral

• During order validation, collateral value either based on holdings or direct collateral is not considered for mark to market losses. For e.g. Cash Available Margin = 1000; Collateral Value = 300 & MTM Loss = 1100. When an order is placed which requires margin for 1200, the collateral amount won’t be considered and order get rejected.

• The rule should be supplementary either of the following rules: o Consider Realized Loss o Consider Realized Profit and Loss o Consider Unrealized Loss o Consider Unrealized Profit and Loss

2.4.23 Don’t auto square off

• This RMS rule excludes client from being purview under auto-square off feature.
