What is real estate underwriting? When an individual or business entity seeks funding for a real estate project or purchase, the loan request is scrutinized by an underwriter to determine how much risk the lender is willing to accept.
What is the 'Depository Trust Company - DTC'. The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is one of the world's largest securities depositories. The DTC, which was founded in 1973 and is based in New York City, is organized as a limited purpose trust company and provides safekeeping through electronic recordkeeping of securities balances. It also acts like a clearinghouse to process and settle trades in corporate and municipal securities.
Thanks in part to the DTC, the NYSE now can handle billions of trades per day. As an automated system, the DTC lowers costs and improves accuracy. The Depository Trust Company is owned by the Depository Trust and Clearing Company, which manages risk in the financial system. Formerly an independent entity, the DTC was consolidated with several other securities clearing companies in 1999 and became a subsidiary of the DTCC.
