LCH Group structure
LCH Ltd and LCH SA are part of the LSEG Post Trade group of companies, and operate some of the largest and most sophisticated clearing services in financial markets today. These include LCH SwapClear, our clearing service for interest rate swaps.
Others are distinguishing themselves by rapid growth, such as our FX clearing service, LCH ForexClear, which is taking the non-deliverable forwards market by storm.
And some are defined by visionary innovation, such as LCH CDSClear, the market’s first credit derivatives clearing service to offer clearing of single name CDS referencing financial names .
Our expanding suite of post trade services has been designed to increase efficiency and reduce costs across the clearing lifecycle. In addition, SwapAgent brings many of the benefits of clearing to the bilateral market by simplifying the processing, margining and settlement of non-cleared derivatives.
All our clearing services are situated within the LCH Group and are provided by two clearing houses: LCH Ltd, which is our UK-based clearing house, and LCH SA, which is our clearing house based in France.
