This version of SIMM includes updates based on the full recalibration and industry backtesting of the methodology.

The effective date of December 3, 2022 means that SIMM users should use SIMM version 2.5 to calculate the initial margin for Close of Business (COB) on Friday, December 2, 2022 onwards.
