Key Terms

central clearinghouse, counterparty risk, capital efficiency
3 terms
central clearinghouse financial
"institutional-only trading venue with a central clearinghouse"
An organization that stands between buyers and sellers in financial markets to match, confirm and settle trades, acting like a neutral referee and guarantor. It reduces the risk that one party won’t deliver by netting obligations, requiring collateral, and enforcing settlement rules, so investors can rely on smoother, more predictable completion of trades and on a centralized mechanism for managing defaults and operational issues.
counterparty risk financial
"separates trading from custody, reducing counterparty risk"
The chance that the other side in a financial deal — such as a buyer, seller, lender, or derivative counterparty — fails to meet their obligations, for example by not paying, delivering assets, or going bankrupt. Investors care because that failure can cause direct losses, reduce the value or liquidity of holdings, and force extra costs like collateral or hedging; think of it like relying on a contractor who might not finish the job and leaves you stuck paying for replacements.
View in glossary
capital efficiency financial
"advances market integrity, improves capital efficiency"
Capital efficiency is a measure of how well a company uses its money and resources to generate profits or growth. It’s like a car’s fuel efficiency—getting the most distance or speed from a given amount of fuel. When a company is capital efficient, it makes better use of its investments to grow faster with less waste.
