Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has hired Barclays Jim Hraska to lead its fixed income clearing house, as it looks to expand buy-side voluntary clearing.
Hraska has joined as general manager of Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC), DTCC’s clearing house for US Treasury’s.
He will be responsible for expanding buy-side participation in FICC clearing services and implementing its mortgage-backed securities (MBS) netting and settlement service.
