Credit Derivatives

ICE’s OTC markets have played an important role in increasing transparency, liquidity and access to previously opaque and illiquid markets. ICE leveraged its OTC market history with its credit expertise to become a leader in trade processing and risk management for the global credit default swaps (CDS) market. In March 2009, ICE launched the world’s first dedicated CDS clearing house, ICE Clear Credit. In July 2009, ICE Clear Europe introduced clearing for European CDS.
