Dear Ranking Member McHenry,
The Depository Trust & 清算 Corporation (“存”) welcomes your invitation to submit this statement to the House Financial 服务 Committee in connection with its February 18, 2021 hearing entitled “Game Stopped? Who Wins and Loses When Short Sellers, Social Media, and Retail Investors Collide.” 存 is a holding company that owns and operates three clearing agencies that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”): National Securities 清算 Corporation (“NSCC”), Fixed Income 清算 Corporation (“FICC”) and The Depository Trust Company (“直接转矩”). The events at issue in this hearing relate to securities transactions cleared by NSCC.
存’s direct clearing members are responsible for completing their customers’ trades at NSCC. NSCC’s rules outline clear financial and operational risk management obligations that apply to direct clearing members.1 NSCC’s requirements for clearing members, and the impact of those requirements during the high-volatility period of late January 2021, are discussed below.
