Global technology solution platform GLMX Technologies has completed an integration with LCH’s Paris-based subsidiary LCH SA to support classic and sponsored clearing.
Mutual clients of the two firms will benefit from the move, including GLMX’s client base of more than 115 global firms, and more than 20 third-party order management systems (OMS) and execution management systems (EMS).
Commenting on the milestone, GLMX CEO Glenn Havlicek says: “Central clearing reduces
capital costs, mitigates credit risk and generates liquidity, which are essential characteristics for securities finance participants.
“The importance of central clearing will continue to grow in light of the current global regulatory landscape. Our connection to LCH SA’s powerful central clearing capability is an important step as GLMX establishes itself as the nexus of deep liquidity pools for our rapidly growing European buy- and sell-side network.”
Olivier Nin, head of RepoClear and calm risk at LCH SA, adds: “We are pleased to establish a partnership with GLMX Technologies as we look to support mutual members’ and clients’ access to both classic and sponsored clearing.
“Through this integration, buy-side members can enjoy the benefits and gain greater access to the world’s largest Euro liquidity pool while banks can leverage enhanced netting opportunities, operational efficiencies and alleviate balance sheet pressures.”
