Global Liquidity Hub
Clearstream’s global securities financing services are bundled under the Global Liquidity Hub. These include securities lending, borrowing and collateral management in cash, fixed income and equities.
The Global Liquidity Hub’s sophisticated collateral management system allows a high degree of flexibility, enabling a broad range of participants to implement individual service requirements.
Clearstream is constantly striving to extend the Global Liquidity Hub’s reach through partnerships with electronic trading platforms, central counterparties (CCPs), central securities depositories (CSDs) and agent banks, so that customers can cover all their exposures from Clearstream.
The Global Liquidity Hub manages collateral to cover all types of exposures in real time, across currencies, asset classes and time zones. Outsourcing collateral management to Clearstream as a neutral agent enables customers to focus on their core business, while benefiting from asset optimisation and full regulatory compliance.
