John Lothian News, home of the eponymous news organization founded by John Lothian and home of MarketsWiki and MarketsWiki Education, today launched Futures Discovery, a new video program sponsored by MIAX.

Futures Discovery is hosted by Roosevelt University student Corties Draper, a CBOT Clearing Corporation Foundation Honors Fellow and captain of the Roosevelt football team. Roosevelt University Professor Justin Shea has agreed to be an advisor to the series, monitoring the quantitative work Draper will show during the series, as Draper is getting school credit for his work with JLN.

In this episode of "Futures Discovery," we venture into the realm of clearinghouses, commonly referred to as Central Counterparties (CCPs). These pivotal financial market infrastructures are instrumental in ensuring the smooth operation and resilience of the global financial landscape. Join Corties Draper, our "Futures Discovery" host, as he unravels the essential functions of CCPs and their crucial role in futures exchanges. Included in this episode is Corties' interview with our subject matter expert, John McPartland of Hidden Road Partners, who talks about the function and purpose of clearinghouses.
