LME Clear’s collateral service allows members to provide LME warrants as collateral to meet their margin requirements. This is a unique offering from LME Clear reflecting our role within the global metals market.
LME Clear will consider requests from members to utilise this service having regard to the enforceability of the arrangements in the member’s jurisdiction of incorporation. Members wishing to post non-cash collateral including warrants are required to sign additional documentation. Certain formalities (including registration of security interests) may apply before non-cash collateral is accepted and this may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Members should note there may be a lead time to posting warrants while this is being assessed. Please see the Warrants as collateral page for full details.
