Securities Clearing & Settlement
Description
Clearing denotes all activities from the time a commitment is made for a transaction until it is settled. Clearing is
necessary to turn the promise of payment into actual movement of money between counterparties.
In securities trading, clearing is necessary because the speed of trades is becoming faster. It involves the
management of post-trading, pre-settlement credit exposures to ensure that trades are settled in accordance with
market rules, even if a buyer or seller should become insolvent prior to settlement. Processes included in clearing are
reporting/monitoring, risk margining, netting of trades to single positions, and failure management. The course covers key elements of Securities Clearing & Settlement
