Institution whose main function is the intervention on its own behalf in the processes of clearing and payment of securities, basing this intervention on the novation of contracts. Thus, it performs the role of the seller against the buyer and the buyer against the seller, assuming the risk of the counterparty of the contract. In order to manage this risk, the central counterparty institution must adequately select the participant institutions, assure appropriate coverage of positions through the requirement of guarantees, and design mechanisms of distributing losses which avoid possible problems of moral risk.
