Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Euroclear?
Euroclear is led by CEO Valérie Urbain, who took office in July 2024. The firm's investment strategy is overseen by its board of directors, which includes representatives from its user-owner banks. Day-to-day operational decisions are made by the executive committee.
What asset classes does Euroclear support?
Euroclear handles bonds (government, corporate, and supranational), equities, money market instruments, derivatives, and funds. Its FundSettle platform facilitates mutual fund and ETF settlement. It also supports collateral management across multiple asset types.
How does Euroclear generate revenue?
Euroclear charges fees for transaction settlement, custody, and ancillary services like collateral management. Its revenue model is cost-recovery based; the firm is owned by its user banks and does not seek to maximize profits. Public financial reports are available through its annual reports.
What is Euroclear's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Euroclear does not engage in co-investment activity. It is a service provider to the financial system, not a capital allocator. For co-investment services, allocators should consult asset managers or family offices.
