Overnight General Collateral Repurchase Agreements
In particular, Part B acts as a lender in a pension institution, while Seller A acts as a cash borrower and uses the guarantee as collateral; in an inverted repo (A) is the lender and (B) the borrower. A pension is economically similar to a secured loan, with the buyer (actually the lender or investor) obtaining guarantees to protect themselves from a seller`s default. The party that sells the securities at first is actually the borrower. Many types of institutional investors conduct repo transactions, including investment funds and hedge funds. [5] Almost all guarantees can be used in a repo, although highly liquidated securities are preferred, as they can be sold more easily in the event of default and, more importantly, they can easily be obtained on the open market, where the buyer has created a short position in the pension guarantee through an inverted repo and a sale in the market; at the same time, against liquid securities is not recommended. A sale/buy-back is the cash sale and pre-line repurchase of a security. These are two separate pure elements of the cash market, one for settlement in advance. The futures price is set against the spot price in order to obtain a market return. The basic motivation of Sell/Buybacks is generally the same as in the case of a conventional repo (i.e. the attempt to take advantage of the lower financing rates generally available for secured loans, unlike unsecured loans). The profitability of the transaction is also similar, with interest on the money borrowed from the sale/purchase being implicitly included in the difference between the sale price and the purchase price.
The cash paid on the initial sale of securities and the money paid at the time of the repurchase depend on the value and type of security associated with the pension. In the case of a loan. B, both values must take into account the own price and the value of the interest accrued on the loan. According to Yale economist Gary Gorton, the repo has grown to offer large non-depository financial institutions a method of secured lending, consistent with deposit insurance provided by the government in the traditional banking system, with guarantees being a guarantee for the investor. [3] There are mechanisms built into the flexibility for buyback agreements to reduce this risk. For example, many depots are over-secure. In many cases, a margin call may take effect to ask the borrower to change the securities offered when the security loses value. In situations where the value of the guarantee is likely to increase and the creditor cannot resell it to the borrower, subsecured protection can be used to reduce risk.
