Our Commission Management leadership has been recognised by Greenwich Associates as #1 in Penetration for CCA/CSA Management Programs in 2008 with a proven track record of superior service and execution capabilities.

Clearing and Settlement
A sound global financial system requires the highest standards in clearing and settlement of trades. Barclays Capital operates across multiple geographies in accordance to international guidelines which are changing all over the world. In Europe, the European Commission's Code of Conduct is aligning central counterparties (CCPs) and central securities depositories (CSDs) with flow from multiple and/or nonaligned exchanges. Barclays Capital stays close to new developments in clearing and settlement and works closely with our clients to ensure their trades are reconciled properly and fast.
