A new service from Thomas Murray aims to give firms choosing a CCP an insight into the underlying risks of the CCP itself, part of your due diligence process to justify whatever choice you make:

The CCP Risk Assessments have been designed to provide an independent assessment of CCPs across a range of defined risks:

• Counterparty Risk
• Treasury and Liquidity Risk
• Asset Safety Risk
• Financial Risk
• Operational Risk
• Governance and Transparency Risk

All the data for each CCP is structured in a consistent way to enable users to compare one against the other. Whether it is CCP interoperability or the impact of individual segregation on the default fund waterfall, the risk assessment should provide users with a primary source of information.
