The Natural Capital Atlas Account™
The Natural Capital Platform™ provides clearing services for customers around the globe that transact through their Atlas Account™, which enables market participants to significantly mitigate and manage their risk exposures.
By acting as the counterparty for every trade, The Natural Capital Platform™ helps you mitigate counterparty risk by maintaining a matched book and risk-neutral position. You do not have to worry about the other end of your trade falling through, because The Natural Capital Platform™ is always on the other end.
The resulting centrally cleared environment brings many benefits to the marketplace, including transparency of market pricing, market metrics, risk management practices and financial safeguards. Since a central clearing counterparty guarantees the performance of all trades, there is neutrality to every transaction, with uniform risk management standards.
Clearing members provide access to The Natural Capital Platform™ for customers that they manage through an Atlas Account™. Clearing Members must be authorized financial institutions or registered as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM). Collateral deposited by customers must be segregated from an financial institution’s or FCM’s own funds.
A broker is a person or entity through with customers can be introduced to a financial institution or principal in which the customer can place orders and make trades. The Natural Capital Platform™ does not work with brokers, and no broker fees are paid through the platform. The Natural Capital Platform™ only works with Juro Relationship Officers (“JROs”) that are registered with Juro JPD Management Consultancies LLC. Registered JROs not only introduce customers and clients, they are responsible for the administrative and regulatory paperwork required by The Natural Capital Platform™. JROs are compensated directly by The Natural Capital Platform™ and no “Buy Side / Sell Side” commissions arrangements exist in the platform. The Natural Capital Platform™ handles the back office operations after the trade is placed, ensuring the trade is cleared, and undertakes the financial responsibility for settlement.
The Natural Capital Platform™ collects performance bonds (initial margin) on a daily basis, collateralizing the risk of potential future losses on positions and performs daily mark-to-market of all open positions to eliminate the accumulation of debt obligations in the market.
Performance bonds are good-faith deposits to guaranty performance of open positions against potential future losses. Performance bond requirements provide coverage for a minimum of 99% of market volatility for a given historical period. Requirements are recalculated twice daily for most products, and at least once daily for all products.
Clearing Members collect performance bond from their customers and The Natural Capital Platform™ collects performance bond from clearing members. If a customer has an Atlas Account™ with JRO, The Natural Capital Platform™ collects the performance bond in the customer’s Atlas Account™. Performance bond requirements vary by product, commodity, asset class, and reflect changes in market volatility.
Mark-to-market prevents the accumulation of exposures on positions. Clearing Member positions are marked-to-market at each clearing cycle, resulting in the movement of cash for gains and losses on clearing member and customer portfolios.
Mark-to-market must be met with cash; however, performance bond requirements can be met with cash or non-cash collateral. To meet the needs of our clearing members and end-clients, The Natural Capital Platform™ accepts a diverse portfolio of assets as collateral for performance bond deposit.
