Nanhua Singapore Becomes Exchange and Clearing Member of ICE Futures Singapore and ICE Clear Singapore

Key Terms

clearing member financial

A clearing member is a broker or financial firm authorized to settle trades and handle money and securities on behalf of itself and other customers through a clearinghouse. Think of it as the authorized courier and accountant that finalizes a trade, making sure the buyer gets the shares and the seller gets paid; its reliability affects how quickly and safely investors’ transactions are completed and how much counterparty risk they face.

clearing financial

Clearing is the behind-the-scenes process that confirms a securities trade, organizes the exchange of money and shares, and ensures both sides get what they agreed to. Think of it like an escrow service or a cashier who checks the receipt, holds the cash and goods until everything is correct, and steps in if one party can’t pay — a function that reduces risk, prevents failed trades, and keeps markets running smoothly for investors.

derivatives technical

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on the price or performance of another asset, such as a stock, bond, commodity, currency or interest rate. Investors use them to hedge against risk, to speculate on future price moves, or to gain exposure without owning the asset — like buying insurance or placing a leveraged bet — so they can both protect portfolios and magnify gains or losses, affecting risk and market liquidity.

View in glossary

digital asset technical

A digital asset is a representation of value or rights that exists only in electronic form—like digital versions of cash, stocks, or collectibles kept in a virtual wallet. They are transferred and recorded using computer systems that make copying or tampering difficult, and can include currencies, tokenized shares, or unique digital items. Investors care because digital assets can offer new ways to diversify, trade and raise capital, but they also bring different risks around price swings, custody and regulation.
