Explanation:
To determine the additional collateral required, we need to calculate the collateral requirement based on the CSA terms:
Step 1: Calculate the initial collateral requirement
Initial collateral requirement = Net exposure - Threshold = 25,000,000 - 14,000,000 = CNY 11,000,000
Step 2: Calculate the new collateral requirement
New collateral requirement = New net exposure - Threshold = 27,000,000 - 14,000,000 = CNY 13,000,000
Step 3: Calculate additional collateral needed Additional collateral = New collateral requirement - Current collateral posted = 13,000,000 - 10,800,000 = CNY 2,200,000
Step 4: Apply Minimum Transfer Amount (MTA)
Since the additional collateral requirement (CNY 2,200,000) is less than the minimum transfer amount (CNY 2,500,000), no collateral transfer is required.
Step 5: Apply rounding (if applicable)
Therefore, the hedge fund does not need to post any additional collateral.

An investment bank has a one-way credit support annex (CSA) on a bilateral transaction with a hedge fund counterparty. Under the terms of the CSA, the mark-to-market value of the transaction forms the basis of the hedge fund's collateral requirements, which are provided below:
| Value (CNY) | |
|---|---|
| Mark-to-market value of net exposure | 25,000,000 |
| Mark-to-market value of collateral posted | 10,800,000 |
| Threshold amount | 14,000,000 |
| Minimum transfer amount | 2,500,000 |
| Rounding amount | 10,000 |
Assuming the net exposure increases to CNY 27,000,000 and the mark-to-market value of collateral posted has not changed, how much additional collateral will the hedge fund have to post?
A
CNY 0
B
CNY 1,990,000
C
CNY 2,000,000
D
CNY 2,500,000
