1. REPO TRADES ON RTS STANDARD

2. 2 RTS STANDARD RTS Stock Exchange came up with the idea to create a new cash equity market in Russia during the financial crisis of 2008 when all Russian market participants faced two major problems – bilateral credit limits and full advance depositing of assets. To avoid these pitfalls RTS Stock Exchange decided to run the new RTS Standard market on the trading platform of the derivatives market FORTS that had been successfully tested in various conditions and demonstrated the extraordinary reliability of its risk management system. Bringing the two markets onto the same trading platform allowed RTS to consolidate the cash position for RTS Standard and FORTS and to introduce joint margining for trades executed on these markets. Thus on April 23, 2009 RTS Stock Exchange launched RTS Standard, a new cash equity market meeting the best practice of stocks trading.

6. 6 In April 2007 RTS became the first Russian exchange to introduce the Central Counterparty (CCP) service. Now this service is available on RTS Standard as well. The CCP interposes itself legally between the buyers and sellers mitigating the risks. The reliable and well-established CCP run by RTS offers market participants many benefits. CENTRAL COUNTERPARTY 6 Bilateral settlement Central Counterparty

7. 7 CCP RELIABILITY ‒ Risks are calculated on the basis of price movements during the day (two clearing sessions). ‒ Price limit management is in place ensuring fast response to sharp price fluctuations. This system supports continuous trading in the event of a “force majeure”, exceptional price movement and high volatility. ‒ To prevent a clearing member’s default there is a granular system for monitoring clearing member’s obligations (notifications, procedure for closing out positions). ‒ The system remains stable in any situation thanks to the special money cushion. ‒ In the autumn of 2008 when the financial crisis was at its worst driving the market volatility up: ‒ RTS CCP never failed to meet its obligations. ‒ Foreign and Russian investors came to realize and appreciate the effectiveness of hedging opportunities of the financial market.
