          Annual Report 2012
        
        
          Thailand Clearing House Co., Ltd.
        
        
          Thailand Clearing House Co., Ltd. (TCH), a subsidiary of The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), was established in
        
        
          August 9, 2004 to clear and settle derivatives trades. On February 15, 2010, SET transferred the Securities Clearing and
        
        
          Settlement Unit from Thailand Securities Depository Co., Ltd. (TSD) to TCH. At present, TCH’s service is being the center for
        
        
          clearing and settling of securities traded on SET, mai, BEX, TFEX, and bonds traded on the OTC markets. Thus, there is a clear
        
        
          separation of operations and management between TCH and TSD, reducing the cost of managing risk and placing collateral,
        
        
          thus bringing the Thai capital market’s post-trade services to be more in line with international standards.
        
        
          
            Operations
          
        
        
          TCH’s most important role is to be the center of clearing and settling financial products in the Thai capital market by
        
        
          being the central counterparty and guaranteeing the clearing and settlement of every transaction made on the markets men-
        
        
          tioned above, thus reducing risks, building confidence among all market participants that the clearing and settlement system
        
        
          will operate as planned, and promote Thai capital market development in the long-term.
        
        
          
            Registered capital and organizational management
          
        
        
          TCH has a total registered capital of THB 100 million, with the SET holding 99.99% of total registered capital.
