ATLANTA & NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE), a leading operator of global
exchanges and clearing houses and provider of data and listings
services, announced today that two of its clearing houses received
awards from Risk and FOW for excellence in clearing.
ICE Clear Credit won
Risk’s 2018 Clearing House of the Year award for the strong progress it
has made in growing clearing for credit default swaps (CDS) and
enhancing the risk framework for these instruments. In addition, at the
FOW International Awards Gala Dinner last night, ICE
Clear US won FOW's 2017 CCP of the Year award for its innovative
work in launching new products and implementing new recovery and
resolution rules. ICE was also recognized by FOW for most innovative new
contract for Eris LIBOR futures.
“We’re honored to be recognized by both Risk and FOW,” said
Intercontinental Exchange CFO, Scott Hill. “ICE is a leading provider of
tools and information for price discovery and risk valuation, and our
global network of clearing houses provides customers with the
confidence, flexibility and robust technology to manage risk in global
markets.”
Through November, ICE Clear Credit had cleared notional CDS client
single name clearing of $360 billion, compared to $190 billion in all of
2016. In 2017, ICE Clear Credit launched financial corporate single name
CDS and is the only clearing house to offer clearing of U.S., European
and Asia Pacific financial corporations and sovereign instruments. ICE
Clear Credit also received approval to implement new recovery and
resolution rules, a key part of the decision for the Risk award, which
is beneficial for member and client risk exposure.
In 2017, ICE Clear US launched the NYSE
FANG+ Index futures contract, as well as daily gold and silver
contracts providing an innovative way to broaden participation in the gold
and silver auctions administered by ICE
Benchmark Administration. ICE Clear US also received approval to
implement new recovery and resolution rules to further enhance the
resilience of the markets it serves.
