About the Business
Established in 1973, The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) is the world's largest equity derivatives clearing organization. OCC works to ensure the stability and financial integrity of the markets it serves by focusing on sound risk management principles. By acting as a guarantor, OCC ensures that all obligations associated with the contracts it clears are met.
OCC has evolved to meet the ever-changing needs of the marketplace. Initially just clearing listed equity options, OCC has grown into an internationally recognized entity that offers a wide range of sophisticated products. OCC is regulated by both the SEC and CFTC. As a registered clearing agency under SEC jurisdiction, OCC clears transactions for exchange-listed options, security futures and OTC options. As a registered derivatives clearing organization under CFTC jurisdiction, OCC provides clearing and settlement services for futures and options on futures transactions. Additionally, OCC acts as a central counterparty for securities lending transactions and is designated as a "systemically important" financial market utility under the Dodd-Frank Act.
