DTCC and Systemic Risk: A Policy Statement

DTCC and its predecessor companies have long recognized that the management and mitigation of industry risks is a principal value proposition that DTCC offers its financial institution members and the markets generally. DTCC has historically focused principally on the management of credit, market, operational, liquidity, strategic, compliance, legal and reputational risks to DTCC. The risks arise primarily from the guarantees provided by DTCC’s clearing corporations and the operation of DTCCs settlement facilities through the depository and the clearing corporations.
