PROJECTS

Client : Euro Clear

Application : EUCLID (Euroclear Information Distribution)

Platform : Tandem

Database : Nonstop SQL

Project #1

Project Name : Floating Rate Repo (FRR)

Client : Euroclear

Description : In a Triparty/Collateral Management Transaction till now the REPO rate selected was fixed which was prevalent throughout the life cycle of the transaction. But in certain markets like France where the repo rates are floating the process of fixed repo rates is not effective. In these countries currently for floating rates the counterparties either change the repo rate on daily/periodic basis, or close and re-initiate their fixed-rate transaction on daily /periodic basis.

To make the process automated as well for Floating Rate, the FRR project has been introduced.

Project #2

Project Name : Floating Rate Notes (FRN)

Client : Euroclear

Description : A specific corporate action event is applied on Floating Rate Notes as the interest rate needs to be determined at a predefined frequency during the lifecycle of the financial instrument. This event will be identified as the FRN interest rate event in this document. A CA event is always linked to only one FRN.

Other CA notifications on any financial instruments, including FRN, will be considered as Classical CA notifications.

Project #3

Project Name : Swift Release 2012(SR2012)

Client : Euroclear

Description : On a yearly basis SWIFT implements modifications to its FIN messages. These changes can have a mandatory character (new validation rules, codes that are deleted) or an optional character (new codes that become available, optional new fields).

Generally the outcome of discussion in the Securities Market Practice Group regarding the standardized use of SWIFT messages is also implemented at the same time, as non-compliance with these market practices may stop STP processing of messages at the Participant’s side.

A second part of the scope consists of changes to the corporate action messages to ensure or improve compliance with market practice, or to benefit from synergies in the implementation.

Project #4

Project Name : Single Matching Account (SMAC)

Client : Euroclear

Description : For a custodian managing multiple security accounts on behalf of several underlying clients. The counterparty must not necessarily know how the client is organized. Towards his counterparties, the custodian would like to be recognized with one single market facing account (or a few accounts) so that the counterparty does only need to specify this single account in the settlement instructions with the custodian.

The Single Matching account should decrease the matching fails as the counterparty needs only to specify the Single Matching Account (SMA) independently of the account where the client will receive or delivery the securities. The service is required for internal, bridge and external transactions.

As a solution Clients SCA account will serve as Single Matching Account (SMA) for the counterparties. The client decides which of his SCA accounts will be linked to the single matching account. This new service will simplify the matching process as the counterparty only needs to instruct a Single Matching Account for all internal/external/bridge transactions executed with this client.

Project #5

Project Name : EB Overnight Decommissioning (ATP5)

Client : Euroclear

Description : The ATP5 project is part of a wider program called “EB Overnight Decommissioning” that aims at significantly reducing the IT complexity and generating more agility in delivering future business projects. Concretely it will decommission the batch implementations of the EB Security Settlement and EB Asset Transfer & Position domains by reusing during night time the real-time implementations of these domains.

The ATP5/4 step has the objective to remove the SET2 batch processing, have it replaced by a real-time one and enabling the rerun of CBL activity currently foreseen in SET2 in the real time.

The impact is not only limited to decommissioning of SET2, it also include decommissioning of SEB03/SEB04, the introduction of two new BOP loads and impact on delimiters

* Worked on the SWIFT Release of 2013 which is implemented on yearly basis to adhere with the market.
