A multitude of factors contribute to the broad participation, as well as the deep and consistent liquidity in U.S. Treasury futures. These factors include standardization, neutrality, and safety of CME Clearing, which also afford lower margin requirements in futures. Initial margin requirements in futures are established by prudent risk management and the self-funding nature of futures. Additionally, with available margin offsets versus other interest rate futures and options positions, cross margining versus CME Cleared interest rate swaps via portfolio margining, and cross margining with FICC cash U.S. Treasury positions, users of U.S. Treasury futures can significantly optimize their margin requirements. This capital efficiency coupled with the off-balance sheet nature of U.S. Treasury futures drives broad participation in these markets. U.S. Treasury futures serve a diverse mix of customer types including asset managers, banks, corporate treasurers, hedge funds, insurance companies, mortgage bankers, pension funds, primary dealers, and proprietary traders.
