Setting the standards for Risk Management
As the world’s leading independent clearing house – we have an unequalled reputation for reducing risk across a wide span of markets globally. We are committed to setting and maintaining the very highest standards, across all our services and all the asset classes we clear.
Our robust, tried and tested risk management framework affords unsurpassed levels of protection to clearing members by providing early identification of customers who might be unable to fulfil their obligations.
The driving force behind our risk management activities is a dedicated team of over 50 risk managers, who share a wealth of experience and a convincing record of successfully managed defaults – including Lehman Brothers in September 2008.
