International Clearing Membership (ICM)
List of International Clearing Members
Trading and Clearing members may now be separate entities. Trading members have to be Russian residents, but Clearing members can be domestic or foreign.
This new model allows for:
- End clients (including non-residents) to hold their capital directly with the NCC (National Clearing Centre - the central clearing house of MOEX markets) instead of a domestic broker, and therefore take less credit risk.
- Non-residents to have naked access to the Exchanges systems (through the use of SMA logins), and therefore avoid latency penalties from brokers infrastructure.
- Clients more flexibility on where they can execute their trades and clear their positions.
This new model was implemented in 2014 on the MOEX FX Market, and planned for implementation in 2019 on the Derivatives and Equities Market.
