Since 2016, LSEG has been upgrading London Clearing House’s (LCH’s) core technology stack and this year the cash equities business, EquityClear Ltd., went live with LSEG Technology’s Millennium Clearing and Millennium Risk (MCCP) platform on March 9, during a period that saw extreme volatility. The technology revamp has sealed LSEG’s AFTA win for the best new technology category for trading and risk over the last 12 months.
In its initial go-live week at EquityClear, the MCCP platform processed over 8 million trades, which is more than two-and-a-half times the historical daily average. Powered by graphical processing units, the platform can now process risk computations faster than its predecessor and enables EquityClear to gauge exposure and margin changes on a trade-by-trade basis, with Historical Value at Risk (HVaR) running a full revaluation.
