DGCX has established a wholly owned subsidiary, the Dubai Commodities Clearing Corporation (DCCC) for undertaking all clearing, settlement & risk management functions. DCCC becomes the central counterparty for all trades executed on the DGCX trading platform, whereby it acts as a Seller to all Buyers and Buyer to all Sellers on the Exchange. DCCC provides a Settlement Guarantee for all trades executed on DGCX. This provides confidence to market participants as counter-party risk is reduced.

In order to protect market participants from counter-party credit risk, DCCC has established a Settlement Guarantee Fund (SGF). The settlement guarantee provided by DCCC is underpinned by a system of initial margin, daily marking-to-market procedures and additional margins. The Settlement Guarantee Fund itself is made up of commitments from clearing members, an insurance policy held by DCCC and credit line extended by the Exchange.
