Clearing
Integrate your OTC and ETD clearing solutions and trade lifecycles for efficient operations and STP
Many challenging market requirements impact clearing members and participants, from front to back to risk. These include supporting CCP and FCM connectivity, adapting to changing regulatory and client reporting, managing complex segregation models, and complying with new margin methodologies, clearing cross-margining, and netting and compression programs.
Firms require an integrated, consolidated clearing platform to:
- Adjust to the constantly changing clearing space
- Proactively validate and reconcile data
- Optimize costs, via automation, cloud-hosting, and utility-based business models
