- LCH SA offers clearing of all Euronext stocks traded on Cboe Europe’s UK order books
- Clearing available via the “Preferred CCP” model
- Market participants benefit from the efficiencies of consolidating activity at one CCP
LCH SA, a leading global clearing house, today announced that its EquityClear service is providing clearing services for Cboe Europe, one of the largest pan-European equities exchanges by value-traded. Under the ‘Preferred CCP’ model, market participants trading Euronext securities via Cboe Europe’s UK order books, BXE and CXE, are now able to select LCH SA as their clearing house.
The ‘Preferred CCP’ model enables Cboe Europe participants to clear through LCH SA provided that both counterparties to the trade have elected LCH SA as their preferred CCP for Euronext securities. This allows members to consolidate their clearing activity for those securities through one clearing house and benefit from increased netting, lower settlement costs and greater operational and margin efficiencies.
