What Is the Difference between Gross and Net Exposure?

Gross exposure is the total value of all outstanding contracts or obligations without considering any offsetting positions. Net exposure is the remaining value after all offsetting positions and obligations have been cancelled out through netting.

CCPs manage net exposure, which is significantly lower than gross exposure.
