What makes Clear Street different?

Clear Street’s mission is to give every sophisticated investor access to every asset, in every market, through a unified platform built for speed, transparency and scale.

We give our clients the technology, tools and service once reserved for the largest institutions, rebuilt with modern infrastructure. Our single, cloud-native, end-to-end capital markets platform powers investor growth today and is transforming how they can interact with markets tomorrow.

Can I demo the platforms?

Yes, please get in touch with our team for a demo.

Do you offer portfolio margin?

Yes, we offer both Reg-T and Portfolio Margin accounts. Please contact us for more details on our Portfolio Margin requirements.

Does my account have SIPC coverage?

Clear Street is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). In the unlikely event of a liquidation of Clear Street, losses of cash or securities in the securities account of each Clear Street customer (within the meaning of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”)) will be covered by SIPC and the excess SIPC insurance coverage purchased by Clear Street up to the limits described below.

SIPC Coverage. In the event of a bankruptcy of a SIPC covered firm, SIPC is obligated to cover a shortfall in customer assets, on a per customer basis for each customer (within the meaning of the SIPA), up to $500,000 (including up to $250,000 for cash). While SIPC does not protect against a decline in the market value of your securities, customers under SIPA receive preferential treatment in any liquidation and are not general creditors of a failed broker-dealer. A brochure regarding SIPC coverage is available upon request or at www.sipc.org.

Excess SIPC Coverage. In addition to the standard coverage provided by SIPC described above, Clear Street has purchased excess SIPC insurance coverage from Lloyd’s of London to provide additional protection to customer accounts that have a net equity value in excess of $500,000. Lloyd’s carries an A+ rating from S&P and an A rating from A.M. Best. The Lloyd’s excess SIPC insurance purchased by Clear Street covers up to a maximum of $1,900,000 per customer account for cash and $62,500,000 per customer account for securities (in addition to the coverage from SIPC), with an aggregate limit of $250,000,000 for all accounts.

Do you accept foreign accounts?

Please contact us for a detailed list of countries and requirements.

Do you support short selling and intraday locates?

Yes – individual clients get an extensive ETB list, in-ticket locates from the order ticket and access to in-house securities lending.

Can I connect my own tools?

Yes – Clear Street Studio supports API/FIX connectivity and works alongside OEMS/analytics. Sophisticated traders can view positions, P&L and margin in real time.

Can you support market making programs and rapid product onboarding?

Yes. Our professional clearing is designed for market making and proprietary trading workflows, with fast exchange/product additions and aligned margin treatment.

How does Clear Street improve capital efficiency for prop desks?

Through robust, real-time portfolio margining tools, collateral is freed intraday so teams can redeploy capital without waiting for end-of-day cycles.

What execution options are best for prop strategies?

Most groups combine DMA/smart order routing and our Clear Street Algos for low-impact participation, with high-touch support for blocks, special situations and event-driven flows.
