Derivatives pricing is approximated with a computationally efficient homotopy-based application that accounts for WWR

##### Initial margin – A regulatory bottleneck

With the recent announcement of an extended preparation period for those smaller entities needing to post initial margin under the uncleared margin rules, the new timetable could cause a bottleneck for firms busy repapering derivatives contracts linked…
