CENTRAL COUNTERPARTY SERVICES

A central counterparty (CCP) imposes itself as the legal counterparty to every trade. This substitution of counterparties is accomplished through the legal process of contract novation, which discharges the contract between the original trading counterparties and creates two new, legally binding contracts -- one between each of the original trading counterparties and the CCP. Commonly used for the derivatives markets, CCPs are now being expanded to include the credit default swaps and securities lending markets.
