The Clear Street Difference
01234
Single-Ledger Visibility
Execution, clearing, financing and risk run on one data set, surfaced in Clear Street Studio™ for live positions, P&L and intraday margin – fewer breaks, faster closes and cleaner oversight.
Integrated Derivatives
Listed options/futures and security-based swaps trade and settle alongside cash, so levered, inverse and options-overlay ETFs can launch and scale without parallel systems.
Operate with Confidence
High-STP post-trade, cloud-native infrastructure and elastic throughput minimize operational drag during rebalances and regime shifts like T+1.
Capital and Collateral Efficiency
Integrated stock-loan and portfolio margining help optimize collateral and improve financing economics as AUM and volume grow.
