ETFs and CCP clearing: On the right track
August 16, 2022--The global exchange traded fund (ETF) market has seen extraordinary growth since its inception almost 30 years ago, with the range of ETF products growing increasingly diverse and complex. In Europe, a high rate of settlement failures and general inefficiency in the market has meant there has been a drive to bring more ETF trades through central clearing, providing greater risk mitigation and operational efficiency.
But is enough being done to facilitate that switch? Chris Lemmon reports.
On 22 January 1993, State Street Global Advisors issued the first ever exchange traded fund (ETF)- the SPDR S&P 500, which tracked the performance of the popular US index. Following a relatively low-key start to life on the markets-opening with just $6.53 million in assets- the fund has seen tremendous growth in the last 10 years, topping $450 billion in assets under management in January this year.
