Ushering In The OCC’s Renaissance – John Davidson, OCC
Listen to the story

The OCC’s ENCORE clearing system, while resilient, is long in the tooth and inflexible. OCC’s Project Renaissance aims to revamp the central counterparty’s data, risk management and clearing systems.

While that key initiative is something the OCC has planned for years, the SEC’s decision not to renew the clearinghouse’s capital plan was a curveball.
In this video from JLN’s Industry Leader Series, OCC CEO John Davidson talks about those two developments.
