The capital adequacy of members is continually reviewed and monitored. The requirements therefor are based upon the European Union standards.

The exposure to risk arising from trading in options, futures and bonds is measured and controlled in daily collaboration with those markets.

Each member is required to lodge a third party guarantee with the JSE as cover against outstanding obligations to the ECH in case of default. In turn, the ECH guarantees performance between members in the event of the default of a member.
