How Does a CCP Replenish Its Guaranty Fund after a Default Event?

After a default event, the CCP will typically replenish its guaranty fund by making "assessment calls" to its non-defaulting clearing members, requiring them to contribute additional funds up to a pre-agreed limit. The CCP may also increase margin requirements or adjust its own capital contribution to restore the fund to its target size.
