LCH.Clearnet is the leading independent clearing house, serving major international exchanges and platforms, as well as a range of OTC markets. It clears a broad range of asset classes including: securities, exchange traded derivatives, energy, freight, interbank interest rate swaps and euro and sterling denominated bonds and repos; and works closely with market participants and exchanges to identify and develop clearing services for new asset classes.
LCH.Clearnet
As a clearing house, LCH.Clearnet sits in the middle of a trade, assuming the counterparty risk involved when two parties (or members) trade. When the trade is registered with LCH.Clearnet, it becomes the legal counterparty to the trade, ensuring the financial performance; if one of the parties fails, LCH.Clearnet steps in. By assuming the counterparty risk, LCH.Clearnet underpins many important financial markets, facilitating trading and increasing confidence within the market.

A central counterparty clearing house acts as a go-between when two parties trade. Once the trade is made, any monetary risk involved (i.e. if one party fails to meet its obligations due to bankruptcy) is borne by LCH.Clearnet Limited acting as guarantor for the trade.

Who knows where your placement may take you...?

LCH.Clearnet Limited have been running an Industrial Placement programme since 1977 and takes its programme very seriously.

We believe that placement students can add tremendous value to the organisation and are treated like a permanent member of staff in the work that they are given and our expectations of them - no full time photocopy clerks and tea makers here.

We have a rigorous recruitment process to ensure that we recruit high calibre students. For those who are successful, in return for your commitment and positive attitude to your placement we offer an induction programme, on the job training and excellent benefits. For those students who especially excel during their placement there may be the opportunity to return to LCH.Clearnet Limited on a permanent basis following graduation. Indeed, 2 of our previous placement students who returned after graduation have become a Director in Risk Management and a Senior Manager in IT. Who knows where your placement may take you...?

The skills that you learn and develop whilst you are here equip you with extra knowledge for your final year and will assist you when looking for a job after graduation. With so many people now going to university and graduating with a good degree you need something extra to offer a future employer. A year's work experience in a respected organisation could well be that extra "something".
