DTCC provides the systems financial firms use to complete securities trades after buyers and sellers agree a transaction. Broker-dealers, banks and asset managers use its services to match trade details, calculate obligations, move securities and report transactions. Its NSCC and FICC subsidiaries clear equity and fixed-income trades, while DTC holds securities and handles settlement and payments such as dividends. By offsetting obligations between firms, its clearing services reduce the securities and cash that must change hands, and its repositories maintain derivatives transaction records for regulatory reporting. The parent was established in 1999 and is headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey.
