U.S. Clearing, a division of Fleet Securities, Inc., and one of the nation's largest clearing and execution firms, announced that it began clearing for Capitol Securities Management ("CSM") in late October. Capitol Securities Management is a full-service, retail broker/dealer headquartered in McLean, Va., with a regional office in Boston, Mass. CSM will be utilizing the Fundquest platform to integrate with its managed-money groups.

With specific functionality enhancements and the introduction of additional features across all product areas, the vendor plans for customers to benefit from improved product performance, availability, recovery and scalability to support increasing volumes.

JPMorgan Investor Services announced that it was awarded the insurance-custody mandate from Quanta Capital Holdings Ltd. totaling $400 million in assets. Quanta is a newly funded Bermuda-based company that provides specialty insurance, reinsurance, risk-assessment and risk-consulting products and services.

Following the endorsement last month by its stockholders in a 50-34 vote, The Clearing Corporation ("CCorp") implemented its corporate and capital realignment. The new corporate structure allows non-stockholder participants to clear trades through CCorp, without owning stock; provides for stockholders to buy and sell shares without previous restrictions related to firm trading activity, and treats each share equally in voting on corporate issues. Ccorp held its first election for the new Board of Directors under its new corporate structure. Current stockholders elected the following nine directors to the board on a one-share, one-vote basis:
