2. A Snapshot of DTC
Safekeeping and Custody: the world’s largest depository
2.8 million securities issues from the US and 100 other countries and territories.
Valued at $36 trillion.
As you may know, DTCC, is the largest financial services post-trade infrastructure organization in the world. Through our subsidiaries, we provide clearance and settlement information services for equities, corporate and municipal bonds, UITs, exchange-traded funds as well as over-the-counter derivatives.
In addition, we’re a leading processor of mutual fund and insurance transactions, linking funds and insurance carriers with their distribution networks.
As you will hear from a number of staff over the next several days on various components of DTCC processing and our role in the financial markets, I will limit my remarks this morning to the DTC processing and how our Operations support the financial services marketplace with a wide range of securities settlement, custody and asset services for Participant banks, broker/dealers and clearing agencies

6. What We Do … Immobilize Securities
Immobilizing securities through custody & safekeeping
DTC’s nominee name – Cede & Co.
DTC-eligible securities maintained by DTC as a fungible mass, accounted for at participant bank or broker/dealer level.
Client investor-level records are not centrally maintained in the U.S.; DTC participants maintain client-level accounts on their own books.
Settlements only involve immobilized securities, generally held in either book-entry only form or as one balance certificate with U.S. transfer agent.
Special physical custody services for ineligible issues.
As the world’s largest securities depository, at the end of 2006, DTC and its subsidiaries settled more than $1.5 quadrillion of securities.
Handled more than $3.3 trillion in cash dividend, interest and corporate action payments and had within its custody more than $36 trillion in assets represented by more than 2.8 million securities issues from the US and 100 various countries and territories.
Though not on the graphic, these custodial assets represent approximately 90% of all shares outstanding and traded on the listed US exchanges and virtually all of the outstanding corporate and municipal debt as well as 99% of all money market instruments – commercial paper

12. What We Do: DTC Settlement Role
Settling participants’ securities obligations to one another
As instructed by participants, DTC completes efficient transfers of ownership of securities among broker-dealers, banks, NSCC, and other participants, providing for book-entry delivery of securities (free-of-payment and versus payment in USD and CAD). Current settlement system will be reengineered in next 5 years.

13. Settlement Role of DTC, the Depository
Operates central book-entry systems for settlement of securities, including obligations from exchange and OTC market trades, institutional trades, corporate money market issuance and redemptions, collateral movements and financing transactions.
Depository risk management requires participants to fully collateralize their settlement activities intra-day, with settlement banks taking on the net settlement at end of day.
Using its account in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, DTC manages, and for dual participants, integrates its own net settlements with those of NSCC, and in part, FICC cash obligations, via National Settlement Service unit of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
