The Margin Agreement is a critical document used in financial transactions under Danish law to manage counterparty credit risk through collateral arrangements. It becomes necessary when parties engage in trading relationships that require regular posting and maintenance of margin collateral, particularly in derivatives trading, securities lending, and other financial transactions. The agreement addresses key aspects such as calculation methods, eligible collateral, transfer mechanics, and default scenarios, while ensuring compliance with Danish financial regulations and relevant EU directives. This document is essential for financial institutions operating in Denmark and must align with requirements set forth in the Danish Capital Markets Act, Financial Business Act, and other applicable legislation.
