How Chicago Clearing Helps Broker-Dealers
Your clients have eligible claims. The question is whether anyone's filing them.

Broker-dealers occupy a unique position in the class action ecosystem: you hold client records that are essential to building claims, and you often serve as the intermediary through which recoveries flow. Whether you have proprietary trading activity of your own, or you're managing the process on behalf of institutional clients, CCC can help you do it right.

 

The Problem

Class action filing for broker-dealers is complicated by two distinct challenges. On the proprietary side, volume and speed make it easy for eligible positions to go unfiled. On the client side, the recordkeeping burden and the complexity of matching client accounts to settlement criteria creates operational friction that most firms aren't equipped to absorb.

 

The result is routine: eligible claims go unfiled, or are filed incompletely, and recoveries are lost.

 

The Solution

CCC works with broker-dealers on both tracks. For proprietary positions, we extract and normalize your trading data and file on your behalf. For client accounts, we can work through your operations infrastructure to identify eligibility at the account level and manage the full filing process — so your clients receive what they're owed without your team carrying the administrative weight.

 

Why CCC?

Our team's roots are in the back office. CCC's CEO James Tharin is a former CBOE market maker, and our operations staff bring over 150 combined years of financial industry experience. We understand how broker-dealer data is structured, how client account records are held, and how to navigate the nuances of proprietary versus agency eligibility.

 

We've worked with broker-dealers of all sizes since 1992. We know your environment.

I could go on and on, but bottom line, the fees being charged are much less than what I was spending in house to file and this is just one less thing I have to spend time trying to figure out how to complete on a consistent basis. Dealing with the CCC staff has been a very positive thing.

- National Bank

We were spending countless hours on class action claims before we signed on with CCC in January. Matt Murray and their technical team ensured our data transmission was seamless and secure. We found everyone at CCC to be professional, courteous, and accommodating.

- Savings Bank

Signing with CCC has made a huge difference. Before, it was horrible. We had to print thousands of pieces of paper, invite clients to come in and sit down with us to show them where to find the transactions, how to input them into the Proof of Claim forms. Now it's simple. It’s very nice to be able to tell our client, “You can shred that Proof of Claim form because CCC has it taken care of.

- Registered Investment Advisor

Your client reporting portal and customer service is the reason we chose Chicago Clearing. I send the data on an annual basis to CCC and they take it from there. My clients are protected (if there is a class action, it is getting filed), the Bank is protected (we are meeting our fiduciary obligation by filing the claims).
