The amount a party is at risk of losing under an investment or agreement, or the aggregate net amount a party is owed under an agreement (or aggregate net amount owed under multiple agreements). This term is used in many contexts but is of particular relevance to derivatives contracts. The exposure of one party to another under a derivatives contract typically changes, and is valued mark-to-market by the calculation agent, on a daily basis. Changes in a party's exposure under a derivatives contract, as well as any fluctuation in the value of collateral already posted, determines the amount of collateral that must be transferred between the parties each day.
