Yet the firm’s collapse points to the possibility of something worse in future, and this danger does warrant attention.</p>\n<p>Archegos is the fund in which Bill Hwang, a wealthy investor with an insider-trading&nbsp;rap, managed his family money. He used some of the money, along with more borrowed (via&nbsp;derivatives) from banks, to make&nbsp;billions of dollars in bets on stocks including ViacomCBS&nbsp;Inc., Discovery Inc. and&nbsp;Baidu Inc.

For funds such as Archegos, and for many other lightly regulated “non-banks,” the primary limit on leverage is margin — the amount of their own funds they must put up to gain a given amount of exposure. Like a down payment, margin protects the counterparty, typically a bank or clearinghouse, in the event of loss. To gain exposure via derivatives to $100 in stocks, a hedge fund might have to put up initial margin of $20, enough to cover a 20% loss. If&nbsp;stocks start falling, banks might demand more, triggering selling to raise the cash. The less margin there is in the system, the greater the chances of contagion as&nbsp;forced selling spreads and losses cascade from borrowers to their lenders and to their lenders’ lenders.</p>\n<p>Who sets margin levels? For the kinds of derivatives Archegos was using, it’s banks. Trouble is, the banks have incentives to&nbsp;keep margin low to attract more business — sometimes too low, as the losses at some of Archegos’s lenders demonstrate. In the next couple years, new&nbsp;rules&nbsp;will require the banks to follow margining procedures established by regulators. This might help — but it won’t address the problem of&nbsp;procyclicality: Banks and clearinghouses tend to increase margins as crises hit, making them worse.</p>\n<p>Greater transparency is part of the answer. Regulators could more easily head off disasters if they knew what was going on in markets. As things stand, they don’t. They’re just&nbsp;beginning&nbsp;to collect trading data on the kinds of equity derivatives that Archegos employed, and if the recent history of credit derivatives is any guide, they’ll need years to make sense of it.</p>\n<p>The Securities and Exchange Commission’s disclosure rules fall short, too. The 13F&nbsp;forms&nbsp;that many investment funds use to report their holdings emerge only quarterly and with a long delay, and in any case&nbsp;cover&nbsp;neither family offices such as Archegos nor most derivatives. Investors must also file a public&nbsp;report&nbsp;when their stake in any single publicly traded company exceeds 5%, but this doesn’t apply to exposures gained via derivatives.
