Trade Novation Summary

Two copies of the Novated Trades are created: an “offset” and a “novated”. The “offset” trades cancel out your risk from the Original Netting Set. The “novated” copy applies the trade’s risk value to the Transferee Netting Set.

  1. Click Create What-If to finalize your changes.
