Markets and capacity

Supported markets

A pool sells one pair in one direction, chosen at creation. To cover another pair or the other direction, create another pool. The pairs open for new pools are listed in Supported markets.

Capacity

Your pool's capacity is the free money of its underwriters who are backing new sales. Each sale needs a reserve no larger than the capacity.

You can manage capacity by:

To	Do this
Sell more	Add capital, or allow outside underwriters
Sell less	Turn off Back new protection for your own capital, or withdraw free money
Limit each contract's size	Narrow the largest limit distance or the open maximum payout
Avoid long-dated risk	Set your longest length, or turn off long tenors

Watching exposure

Risk and exposure shows, for each of your pools:

• reserved and available capital;
• active exposure by tenor;
• active exposure by structure;
• every active contract and its expiry.
