A market participant needs to turn one form of risk into another. For example, they may need to turn the shares of one company into shares of another, turn euros into dollars, or turn bonds into capital.

Post-Trade

Both sides of the trades go through clearing, settlement and analytics to ensure a sound and secure transaction.
