What is Clearing?

Clearing is generally accepted as a securities risk management process, and is supported by a clearing house or central counterparty (CCP). It offers the following benefits:

  • Post-trade anonymity
  • Risk Management
  • Ability to support multi-lateral netting

SIX Swiss Exchange introduced a central counterparty service (CCP) for eligible securities in cooperation with SIX x-clear Ltd and LCH.Clearnet Ltd.

SIX x-clear and LCH.Clearnet act as central counterparties for their members and offer comprehensive clearing services for all CCP-eligible securities that are traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
