if any at all</b>- as the CFD is akin to a privately-arranged (i.e. off exchange and bespoke) futures contract where the differences in the settlement between the open and closing trade prices are cash-settled (there is no delivery of physical goods or securities with CFDs).</p><p><blockquote>至关重要的是,正如彭博社指出的,这意味着<b>Archegos 实际上可能从未拥有大部分基础证券(如果有的话)</b>-由于差价合约类似于私人安排(即场外和定制)期货合约,其中开盘价和收盘价之间的结算差额以现金结算(差价合约不交付实物货物或证券)。</blockquote></p><p> What makes the situation worse is that<b>Archegos reportedly took positions in these CFDs with various prime brokers</b>- and because these positions are by their nature not centrally cleared or aggregated, this left prime broker X unaware of their client's exposures with prime broker Y... which in this case was huge.</p><p><blockquote>更糟糕的是<b>据报道,Archegos 与多家主要经纪商持有这些差价合约头寸</b>- 由于这些头寸本质上不是集中清算或汇总的,因此 prime broker X 并不知道其客户在 prime broker Y 的风险敞口……在这种情况下,这是巨大的。</blockquote></p><p> The leverage Hwang was given made him look like a trading genius as the various positions he took were pumped and pumped (and helped by gamma-squeezers) but now look like a reckless gambling fool as the bets collapsed.</p><p><blockquote>黄获得的杠杆作用让他看起来像一个交易天才,因为他持有的各种头寸被不断增加(并得到了伽马挤压器的帮助),但现在随着赌注的崩溃,他看起来像一个鲁莽的赌博傻瓜。</blockquote></p><p> CFDs linked to stocks (with a gross market value of around $282 billion at end June 2020) are among bespoke derivatives that investors trade privately between themselves, or over-the-counter, instead of through public exchanges.<b>This is exactly the kind of hidden risk that amplified the losses during the 2008 financial crisis.</b></p><p><blockquote>与股票挂钩的差价合约(截至 2020 年 6 月底,总市值约为 2820 亿美元)是定制衍生品之一,投资者可以在彼此之间私下或场外交易,而不是通过公共交易所进行交易。<b>这正是2008年金融危机期间放大损失的那种隐患。</b></blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ffab65c57ee35df93f6a6087e1136e5b\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"321\">AsBloombergnotes,<b>regulators have begun clamping down on CFDs in recent years because they’re concerned the derivatives are too complex and too risky for retail investors,</b>with the European Securities and Markets Authority in 2018 restricting the distribution to individuals and capping leverage. In the U.S., CFDs are largely banned for amateur traders... but not for hedge fund managers who are \"sophisticated\"?</p><p><blockquote>正如彭博社指出的,<b>近年来,监管机构开始打击差价合约,因为他们担心这种衍生品对散户投资者来说过于复杂和风险太大、</b>欧洲证券和市场管理局在2018年限制向个人分配并限制杠杆。在美国,业余交易者基本上禁止差价合约……但对于“老练”的对冲基金经理来说就不是了?</blockquote></p><p> But,<b>banks still favor them because they can make a large profit without needing to set aside as much capital versus trading actual securities</b>(driven to this opaque market as an unintended consequence of heavy regulation following the 2008 financial crisis).</p><p><blockquote>但是,<b>银行仍然青睐它们,因为与交易实际证券相比,它们无需预留那么多资金即可赚取巨额利润</b>(2008年金融危机后严格监管的意外后果,导致这个不透明的市场)。</blockquote></p><p> In the case of Archegos, there is very little transparency about Hwang’s trades, but market participants suggest his assets had grown to anywhere from $5 billion to $10 billion in recent years with<b>total exposure topping $50 billion</b>. And bear in mind,<b>this is not 'leverage' in the old-fashioned sense</b>(i.e. banks allow you buy X-times the amount of stocks relative to your capital); this is<b>purely synthetic</b>- the firm has no actual underlying asset to fall back on, but is linearly exposed to losses (and gains) on a margined basis.</p><p><blockquote>就 Archegos 而言,Hwang 的交易几乎没有透明度,但市场参与者认为,近年来他的资产已增长到 50 亿至 100 亿美元。<b>总风险敞口超过 500 亿美元</b>记住,<b>这不是老式意义上的“杠杆”</b>(即银行允许你购买相对于你的资本数量X倍的股票);这是<b>纯合成</b>- 该公司没有实际的基础资产可以依赖,但在边际基础上面临线性损失(和收益)。</blockquote></p><p> And as we noted at the beginning,<b>this has the potential to be much more systemic</b>as the losses created by Archegos' margin calls trigger more margin calls and more potential losses for the prime brokers. Think we are exaggerating, then explain why the costs of counterparty risk hedging for Credit Suisse for example, has exploded in the last few days...</p><p><blockquote>正如我们在开头提到的,<b>这有可能变得更加系统化</b>由于 Archegos 的保证金评级造成的损失引发了更多的保证金评级和主要经纪商的更多潜在损失。认为我们夸大其词,然后解释一下为什么瑞士信贷的交易对手风险对冲成本在过去几天里激增……</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/28842de72b88aa4010edfcfa798fa5af\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"273\"><i>Source: Bloomberg</i></p><p><blockquote><i>资料来源:彭博社</i></blockquote></p><p> Mohammed El-Erian told CNBC this morning that<i><b>\"It seems to be a one-off ... for now, it looks contained.
