Nasdaq Launches CCP Clearing for SME Segments

Nasdaq announced the introduction of a central counterparty (CCP) participant for equity trading on Nasdaq First North in the Nordics, and Nasdaq Stockholm Small Cap. This change will mitigate counterparty risk when trading in shares of small- and medium sized companies, while improving market efficiency and potentially increasing liquidity. According to a story in MarketsMedia, trading on Nasdaq First North and Nasdaq Stockholm Small Cap will now have the same post-trade process as the Mid and Large Cap segments. The introduction of CCP Clearing will also increase access to Nasdaq First North and Nasdaq Stockholm Small Cap to institutional investors requiring central counterparties in order to make investments.
