The Risk Controllers - Central Counterparty Clearing In Globalised Financial Markets 9780470686324 azw3 lrf 下载 百度云 夸克云 snb pdf kindle

　　Clearing houses, or CCPs, were among the very few

organisations to emerge from the global financial crisis with their

standing enhanced. In the chaotic aftermath of the bankruptcy of

Lehman Brothers, they successfully completed trades worth trillions

of dollars in a multitude of financial instruments across listed

and over-the-counter markets, and so helped avert financial

Armageddon.

That success transformed the business of clearing. Governments

and regulators around the world gave CCPs and the clearing services

they provide a front-line role in protecting the global economy

from future excesses of finance. CCPs, which mitigate risk in

financial markets, responded by greatly expanding their activities,

notably in markets for over-the-counter derivatives, and often in

fierce competition with one another.

In The Risk Controllers, journalist and author Peter Norman

describes how CCPs operate, how they handled the Lehman default,

and the challenges they now face. Because central counterparty

clearing is a complex business with a long history that continues

to influence decisions and structures even in today’s fast changing

world, The Risk Controllers explores the development of CCPs and

clearing from the earliest times to the present.

It draws on the experiences of the people who helped to shape the

business of clearing today. It sets the development of CCPs and

clearing in the broader context of changes in society, politics and

regulation. The book examines turning points, such as the 1987

stock market crash, that set clearing on a new path and the impact

of long running trends, including the exponential growth of

computer power and the ebb and flow of globalisation.

Written in non-technical language, The Risk Controllers provides

a unique and accessible guide to CCPs and clearing. It is essential

reading for clearing professionals, legislators and regulators

whose job it is to take this vitally important business into the

future.

“The recent crisis has, thankfully, renewed interest in the

importance of central counterparties: how they can help preserve

stability or, as Hong Kong showed in 1987, undermine stability if

they are not super sound. Peter Norman’s book places the role of

clearing houses in a historical context, and explains why the

financial system’s plumbing matters so much. It should be read by

anyone interested in building safer capital markets.”
